advanced puberty and short stature

[mindy1001]

I am struggling with my situation with my 12 year old son, who is short to begin with and has rapidly advanced in puberty, and bone age.  I took him two to prominent doctors who are totally conflicting with their recommendations.  One doctor is advising armidex to delay bones from advancing, not approved for this, and the other doctor is recommending lupron to slow down his puberty.  I am trying to post this in the pediatric endocrinology section and am not able to do so.  I am looking for a solution which is safe and of course allow him to be a reasonable height.  I would appreciate any input how to proceed.

help, advice needed.  My son is 55" and already well into puberty --maybe midway through tanner 2 or more--he is 11 years old.  He is on growth hormone for several years now--I have heard about letrozole and anastrazole but his current endocrinologist is not presribing these drugs.  His pediatrician says if something is to be done to help him it should be now.  opinions,advice greatly appreciated.  thanks.

Dear Mindy,

I know, its long time since you posted about your son growth. I am also struggling with the same issue now. Could you start Armidex thta time. And how much height he could got since you wrote.
