Hi Everyone,
I have a question for you all. When a child is told she has a risser of 0 (my daughter is almost 12), does that mean she will have a lot of growth yet, or does that mean she could have a lot of growth? I am 5'4" and my 15-year old is 5'5" and done growing. We both did most of our growing at a young age. My daughter with scoli is almost 5'3". I am thinking that it is possible that she only has 2 inches left to grow. My question again is "Does the 0 risser mean it is showing that there are many inches yet to come, or just the possibility of it?" I hope somebody understands my question. She will probably begin menses within the next 6 months based on development and family history. I appreciate all of you so much. I hope you all stay around for at least the next 18 months until I get through all of this. You give such great advice and comfort to those who are facing surgery.
