[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 148027, member: 1233"] I concur that a physical is needed. PLEASE ask for a referral to a pediatric endocrinologist while you are at the physical. I was severely underweight as a teen (79 lbs and 5feet no inches the day I graduated high school). A year later, while away in college, I saw a pediatrician endocrinologist. I was on medications for ankylosing spondylitis (a false diagnosis) but the medication levels were so high they would only have been OK if I were a 300 lb male!! I have had lifelong problems from the years on medications for this false diagnosis. To this VERY DAY I have some problems. Though being female the hormone system "resets" with each pregnancy - 3 docs have told me this. I don't think male hormone systems reset. I do believe there are things that can be done, if puberty is delayed or interfered with though. I am sorry your son is having such problems. I took the liberty of asking my bro about this - he said it is a RANGE, but there should be some growth apparent. He also said that if it was after a cold shower it could cause the small size. Many hugs for your worrying mommy heart! Susie [/QUOTE]
