Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4129978, member: 11664"] Some of these kids start playing at such a young age that perhaps it makes them more susceptible to repetitive motion injuries. There's simply too much wear & tear on their growing bodies. Then the problem gets magnified because they're playing at a faster and rougher pace than previous generations, and more injuries result. Some of these kids have non-typical frames and bones that get exposed to more stresses than many average sized kids. Some of them grow so fast I don't know how they can stay coordinated and free of injury when they're active in a sport. Some kids bones grow too fast for their ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues which causes growing pains. Then the way Dr.'s treat that is by limiting their activity, or immobilizing the painful joint with a cast for a time. [/QUOTE]
