well, my mom finally got what she wanted...... a doc. that said that i'm just having growing pains. basically he said i need to stretch and in a few years my pain will go away. i think the thing that made me mad was when he said "if being active hurts and not doing anything hurts than why not be active" i'm not really sure why that made me so mad. i really want to be active but i just cant. there is way to much pain involved. so basically, there will be no more doc. visits for me and i willl quietly be suffering in my room. i'll do the darn stretches i have been doing since physical therapy a few months ago, and i will try and wear the orthodics, but i just want the pain to go away. these "quick fixes" havent worked in the past and i've become very pesimistic. i dont even really know what i was hoping the doc. to say but i know that wasn't it. i'm having pain and not growing. my x-rays from a few months ago show that my growth plates are basically done fusing or w/e you would say, but o well. wish my luck w/ this waiting game.
