Taken from the GH info from Superior Muscle
" Slipped capital femoral epiphysis or avascular necrosis of the femoral head may be seen in children with advanced renal osteodystrophy, and it is uncertain whether these problems are affected by GH therapy. X-rays of the hip should be obtained prior to initiating GH therapy for CRI patients. Physicians and parents should be alert to the development of a limp or complaints of hip or knee pain in patients treated with Saizen.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis may occur more frequently in patients with endocrine disorders or in patients undergoing rapid growth. "
Here is the question.
I HAD surgery for "slipped capital fermoral epiphysis" when I was a kid. The doctors told me back then that I grew a bit too quickly in a short time.
Esentially my hip bone slipped out of the socked a bit, you walk with a limp and they pin them back in. The pins were removed a year or so later.
I had this problem in BOTH hips. Granted it was 25 years ago.
Is this the kiss of death for me ever being able to use this stuff?
I tried a bit of searching and I was not able to find any additional info.
