Bone fractures in my child.?

My son has been getting fractures since he was a baby. Now he has them on both growth plates were the Dr. done surgery. he had surgery done because his legs were turned in. Who can give me some help?

i'm really concerned that your dr has not given you any referrals of people you can talk to about this-especially since it's a normal occurance.

brittle bone disease causes people to fracture easily and often. it's is often found when a child is born b/c their legs and arms fracture during the delivery.

the next time you go in to see the dr-demand answers. tell him you need more information on what exactly is happening to your son.

-what is the name of the condition he has?
-what causes it?
-ways to prevent it?
-support groups or places to get more information?

you need to ask all of these questions. you have the right to know about anything and everything that concerns your son

good luck to you

Have his Doctors check him for brittle bone disease.
