Was my doctor telling the truth when he said that certain people can't be a certain size cuz of bone size?

Yes, your Dr is telling you the truth.  You must be 'big-boned', which has nothing to do with your weight.  It simply means that your frame is large, as opposed to small-boned people who are more delicate.

I wear a size 13 shoe but have just an average size dick. A woman in a bar came up to me one time and spotting my big shoes said "Is it true what they say about men with big feet?" I told her "If it is, I must be an exception to the rule!" She laughed and immediately walked away! Oh well...I don't believe in false advertising and it doesn't make any difference anyway! If the size of my weenie was THAT important to her, she probably wasn't even worth talking too let alone....oh you know!

There really isn't an average anymore.  You have to take into account your bone structure and general health.\nA Orthopedic Surgeon (Bone Dr.) told me a simple test.  Wrap your hand around the opposite wrist.  If you can easily touch fingers, you have a small bone build. If your fingers barely touch, you have an average build.  And if they don't reach around, you have a big bone built.  This comes from our genes (family and culture).  Healthy weight should be determined by heart rate, blood pressure, blood chemistry, and others.  \nSee a doctor if your worried about being over weight.\nRelax if you think your a little underweight. \nGod (or nature if you prefer) made us to be a healthy size for our bone frame.  You are NOT going to change it that much.

It won't make you short but I've heard more than once that heavy weight training may have adverse affects on the  bone development of young people. Maybe you should consult a doctor.

You might specifically ask your doctor if your weight is ok.  If he/she says its fine, there probably isn't anything to worry about.  If your frame is small enough, I guess its possible that your weight is just fine.

it's always possible.  Genetics plays a huge role in how tall you're going to be.  Go to the dr. they can tell how tall you may be or if you have stopped growing.

I don't think so...you should be asking a doctor those kind of questions if it for you.

Some people believe that a person can be so in tune with their bodies, that they can heal themselves.  I have no idea whether or not it is possible....

Tha is normal,you are not alone some of my friends and me are dishonest when it comes to heights and weights!Good for you,you hit your lies and now it is justified by your real weight!

it depends on the fushion of your bones.  Get a bone age x-ray done and have your doctor give you a predicted height.

There's a saying: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."  Maybe the first doctor didn't have experience with that variety of splint.  I'm not saying that some surgeons do not jump at every opportunity to operate, and that some do see patients as a revenue source.  I just want to point out that some have different approaches based on experience and training.

Because it's still seen as acceptable to bash big people. Some people don't understand that judging people on appearances is wrong. Strangely enough, I've seen this from people who feel that they don't have a predjudicial bone in their body.

What's right for others may not be right for you. Ask your doctor.

it's probably not osteoporosis, it's probably Scoliosis. Which is very common, go see your pediatrician

What does his doctor say?  He has the true answer.

no not at all!!! but since now adays ppl look at a person from the outside and not form the in, then ppl think that size matters,but it doesnt!!

Cute, but I dont think new bones grow in place of others, if they did then no one would have amputated legs and arms!
