I have a 9 year old son that is diagnosed with HMS. He has a hard time at school since he is limited in his activites. He seems to have more problems and pain than less as he gets older. Just recently he has been complaining of heel pain. My question is are any of you that have this small in stature. I'm wondering if his slow growth, stomach problems, and HMS are related. I live in GA and have yet to find a helpful care provider. All they can tell him is what he can't do; he wants to run and play like a normal boy.
