People often comment on his perfectly defined calves :-) Our peadiatrician is concerned about it and very emphatic about excercising and stretching, the tendons and calf muscle. Otherwise, he says DS will have to have injections of some sort (I think it is BOTOX). We see a physiotherapist every few months to keep track and give me ideas for exercises. When DS has a growth spurt, it gets worse until we stretch it all out again. The stretching doesn't stop the toewalking, but it does ensure that it isn't caused by tendons/muscles that are too tight.Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332050256369139455.post-42065913601393668502009-06-23T12:27:43.037-05:002009-06-23T12:27:43.037-05:00becomewhatyouare- I am too, especially after every...becomewhatyouare- I am too, especially after everything I have read for the last several months.
