, i want to ask him if he can refer me to some 'specialist' or whatever that can take my "bone age", (To see if my growth plates have closed, to see if I still have potential 2 grow more)

I'm a girl , 16, and still 4'11

I hate being this short, and I just want to know if I can grow more, or get tested for if I have some kind of growth or hormonal disorder thats affecting my height...

, although I'm EMBARRESED to ask, and also because last time i asked he just brushed it off like it was nothing saying.."O you'll probably grow A LITTLE until your 18"
, BUT I WANT TO KNOW the facts based on tests and X-rays.....not just 'probably'

I also get very irregular periods like (only 4-5 times a year or so), I got my 1st ever period at 12 yrs. old

I got a bloodtest b4, to check about my 'irregualr periods', but it came back saying i was 'fine'

How can i convince my docter that i want an X-ray and more 'tests' done on me.. or do u think I'll just b wasting my docter's time?

Is it anyway possible for someone that has no sense of smell to still be able to taste things like food, drink, etc?

I know its a stupid question but i just wanted to see if someone isn't shooting me a line of BS.

Recently I discovered a rather large lump aproximately the size of a quarter in the section under my jaw bone & before where my neck starts. It is deep in the skin, moves freely when I touch it, and does not really hurt. Any ideas as to what this may be? Plz. dont tell me to go to a doctor - that is obvious advice. I am looking for any individuals who had similiar issues or have an helpful information to share. Thanks

hi.
is it possible that i could have Optic Pathway Gliomas? My symptoms are visual loss, loss of concentration, loss of reaction time, and severe fogginess.

I am 16 years old and i been to almost every doctor around ohio and no doctor can figure out what is wrong with me so i am goin to an eye doctor this week to see if it is related to my eyes. I had this fogginess sensation for almost 16 months now.

I usually work out 5 days a week and yesterday I added a new workout to my usual weight routine called the "stiff leg dead lift". Anyhow, I must have strained my back doing that because this morning I could hardly get out of bed and walk. I've been in major pain all day and my whole lower back is throbbing and spasing out. I've been taking ALEVE pills but they don't really work that well. How long do you think it will take for my back pain to go away and should I avoid the treadmill tommorrow? I hate missing workouts.
