And your question is?
Your doctor surely knows best. 110 pounds sounds pretty heavy for a 4'8" 7 year old. active or not.

My granddaughter broke the growth plate in her left ankle about 7 months ago. She hasn't had a problem with it since. She is only 2 but she also is very active.
Was it a pediatric orthopedic surgeon? If it wasn't then I would take him to one. The one we use said that a lot of regular doctors scare the patients before they get to him with false facts.

thats good that he is active..but have him stretch and excercise his legs and feet..and you should massage them every night..he is heavy to only be 7 yrs old and he short too...there would be many more complication with the feet because, dont you see that his whole body weight bring pressure on his feet causing problem...put him on a healthy diet and hane him jogging around the yard or in a park for 10 minutes once every day..

Try an orthopedic doctor who specializes in sports medicine for a second opinion if you want additional peace of mind.

Yes it is normal.The growth plate is the softest part of the bone.It shouldn't effect him later in life,but make sure for now that he has good fitting shoes with extra support.

Perhaps a physiotherapist could help loosen up that tendon.
