Treating restricted growth
Some people with restricted growth may be able to have treatment to help them grow more than they otherwise would, although not everyone will need treatment.
Support and treatment is also available to help with related problems, such as associated health conditions and difficulties with daily activities.
Growth hormone medication
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends human growth hormone treatment (somatropin) as an option for children whose poor growth is associated with:
growth hormone deficiency
Turner syndrome
Prader-Willi syndrome
chronic kidney disease
a particular genetic fault – known as short stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) deficiency
NICE also recommends the treatment for children who are born small and fail to catch up in growth by the age of four or later.
Somatropin treatment should be started and monitored by a child health specialist (paediatric endocrinologist) with expertise in managing growth hormone disorders in children. It's given as a single daily injection, which can usually be done by a parent or carer.
Skin reactions are the most commonly reported side effect of somatropin. In very rare cases, the treatment is associated with persistent severe headaches, vomiting and vision problems.
Children with growth hormone deficiency respond very well to growth hormone treatment and may be able to reach a relatively normal adult height. The effectiveness in children with other conditions can vary.
Growth hormone treatment may stop once your child stops growing, but in some cases it may be given into adulthood because it can sometimes help prevent problems such as weak bones (osteoporosis).
For more information, read the NICE guidelines on Human growth hormone (somatropin) for the treatment of growth failure in children and Human growth hormone (somatropin) in adults with growth hormone deficiency.
Leg-lengthening surgery
If a person has particularly short legs, a leg-lengthening process, known as distraction, may be an option. This involves dividing the leg bone and fixing it to a special frame. This is gradually adjusted every day to encourage the bone to grow over time.
This can sometimes result in a significant increase in height, but it's a lengthy treatment and has a risk of complications, so it's not always recommended.
NICE says there is uncertainty about the safety and effectiveness of this procedure, so they recommend making sure you understand exactly what it involves and to talk to your surgeon or doctor about the risks if it's suggested as a treatment.
Some people have pain after the limb-lengthening procedure. Other possible complications include:
poor bone formation
infection
bone lengthening at an inappropriate rate
blood clots
For more information, read NICE guidelines on Intramedullary distraction for lower limb lengthening.
Support and treatment for related problems
As restricted growth can be associated with several related conditions and problems (read more about the symptoms of restricted growth), affected children and adults are likely to be cared for by a team of different healthcare professionals.
These may include:
a paediatrician (child health specialist)
a nurse specialists
a physiotherapist
an occupational therapist
a dietician
an audiologist (hearing specialists)
a speech and language therapist
a neurologist (specialist in nervous system disorders)
an orthopaedic surgeon
a geneticist
You may have regular check-ups with members of your care team, so your health can be monitored and any problems that develop can be treated

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs. "There are a lot of people and things I could have eradicated from my life in this way."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
