Re: Help!!!!! - Asymmetry answers

[Guest guest]

- according to the experts, asymmetry does not

suddenly " occur. " If he has it now, it is invariably that he had it

before it just wasn't caught. Studies have also shown that

asymmetry stays proportionate with growth, that it doesn't get worse.

I am guessing that it wasn't caught before because it wasn't super

noticable to the eye, or because the doctor didn't measure well.

was not found to have asymmetry until she was gosh, I think

3 years old. And we also have had major variations in

the " measurement " of her asymmetry.

The only accurate measurement is an x-ray from hip down where the

computer does the measuring..... hee hee.

I would recommend not panicking. And go back in the archives and

search for the words Scoliosis, or Orthorpedic or Asymmetry. I know

I wrote an email in this past Sept or Oct with full info from our

orthopedist on what to monitor and how to do it. Hope this helps!!!

If Connor's measurements as you wrote below were from a pediatrician

well-check, I would NOT take these as factual. They are not trained

in how to do the measurements. I would make an appt with a

pediatric orthopedist, and ask them to do the accurate measuring.

If he does have asymmetry, he should then be followed once a year.

Good luck!!! Salem
