You need to talk to your doctor.  You can't just go in and get an xray.\n\nCalm down.  You still have 4-5 years to grow.

There is a surgical Procedure done in Japan. They break your legs and put pins in to strecth them.  also There are growth hormons if your growth platelts are still open but i dont like the side effects.

Poor you, I had surgery for mine two years ago and I've had no problems (touch wood!!!).  You can go for the op again, but the likelyhood is that if it came back after the first one it will eventually come back after a repeated one.\n\nI would recommend you get a splint for your wrist and wear it when it is possible to, avoid unnecessary repeated movement in your wrist and try an ice/heat pack for the pain.

No it isn't strictly normal but equally is something that does occaionally occur.  You should go back and consult your doctor and ask for their advise as to the best route forwards.  Possible repeat xrays or more physio or even acupuncture.  Whatever you decide make sure you don't just sit it out, if I had done that i would have lost the use of my left arm!!!

Here's an answer that wasn't copied and pasted from somewhere on the net...\n\nLong bones, which are the bones of your arms and legs, can be broken into two regions. The "knobs" located at both ends of the bone are called the epiphyses. The long, narrow portion of the bone is called the diaphysis. Located at each end of the bone between the epiphysis and diaphysis is a region called the epiphyseal plate.\n\nThe epiphyseal plate is more commonly referred to as the "growth plate". In a growing human, the epiphyseal plate contains many chondrocytes. The chondrocytes produce chondrin, which is the material that composes cartlidge. This new cartilidge lengthens the bone. Osteoblasts then convert this newly formed cartlidge into bone.\n\nIn adult humans who have finished growing, the epiphyseal plate has been completely replaced by solid bone. A quick x-ray can therefore determine whether an adult human has finished growing by the presence or absence of the epiphyseal plate.\n\nChondrocytes are also located in other parts of the body where cartlidge is present, like the nose, ears, larynx, trachea, and skeletal joints.

It is a finding on xray, that is very dense, as dense as bone, but is not a bone.  It is evidence of an old infection that has been sequestered to a lymph node.  Fungal infections, tuberculosis, parasites and some environmental elements can be taken out to the lymph nodes, where the body has a particular reaction, called a granulomatous reaction, ie forms a granuloma, and takes care of the infection.  Frequently, the granuloma gets calcified before the body can clear up the debris, and it will be with you always.  I have had one in my left armpit for the last 40 years.  They always comment on it in mammograms, but it is stable and is just an incidental finding.  Almost never are calcified granulomas evidence of any current disease process.  Rest easy, all is okay.  If that is the worst finding in your health workup, go celebrate.

Actually, as an xray tech, they do one of your wrist and your hand.  You have 8 bones in your wrist. These are the carpal bones.  Most babies aren't born with them so they develop over time.  If they see your carpal bones are or aren't developed that can tell you how far ahead you are in growth/how far behind you are. They use those body parts and compare them to the normal for someone your exact age.  It's just a uniform part of the anatomy from an xray standpoint.  It will be of your left hand and/or wrist and is most likely called a Bone Age Study.  Probably the easiest xray u will ever have. all you do is sit there with your hand on the table :)

potential fracture.. might be so minor. its what they call a bruised bone. i had a similar fall a few years ago but i fell on both hands. my  right wrist had the same problem you are describing. just apply ice and wait it out. my right forearm required a cast for 6 weeks. so go to a doctor and get xrays of your hands. they will let you know.

Nope, the x-ray is opague and you can see through the bone.  Go to Yahoo home page and search the web and then type in x-rays to see some samples.

Yes, go to the doctor and get an x-ray.  Sounds like you have a small fracture but you won't know for sure until you get that x-ray.  You don't want to keep re-injuring it.

X-rays show skeletal problems, not muscle or nerve damage. See a neurologist

Doing X-Rays, CT, MRI

No,as long as there's no pain,nothing's wrong.It sounds like an exostosis from your former fractures.That's an extra bony outgrowth from a site that has had new bone formation.\nGet an x-ray check to confirm this.

I had that too. But then i went to a doctor. He gave me some pills and some cream to use. It was good after some time. But when it happened it lasted for about 6 months before i saw a doctor. He said it was unusual on someone my age because the x-ray had nothing unusual.And I was only about 14-15 (3-4 years ago). So you should go see a doctor. Im sure its nothing serios. There could be alot of causes. Im not sure what caused mine too. It was like todays perfect and tomorrows big time aches.

If you are speaking about a DEXA scan:\n\n"If you pay for a DEXA scan out of your own pocket, you should expect to pay $160 to $175."\n\nhttp://www.toneyourbones.org/show.asp?durki=55081\n\nYou can get a bone density scan of your wrist at many Long's Drug stores for $30.  This site has information:\n\nhttp://www.fore.org/pdf/FOREnewsletter_Fall2000.pdf#search='bone%20density%20testing%20longs%20drug%20store'\n\nA DEXA scan is more accurate......

maybe\nbut yet\nmaybe not\n\nget her x-rayed to see if her teeth r coming or if they r retained in her jaws or maybe they r erupting behind her primary teeth (which is not uncommon)...it's better to check her now to take the correct measures..or else she might have difficulty with braces later on

Dramaqueen, first you need to get a life. Kid's only 15, he doesn't know what the heck's going on. You might ask your parents to call the doctor and see about getting an mri, or some x-rays to see if there is oher damage that they didn't see. I have the same problem with my wrists, and i'm only 17 (darn skateboarding!). In the mean time, try icing it, and maybe a tylenol to ease the pain. As for little miss drama queen, ignore her, she's full of hot air.
