I had never heard of it either. I am just hoping it does not stand in his way too much. He hates sport so might be happy if he is asked to limit this!!

Just looked it up. Interesting.
Congenital and hopefully treated with physio and medication.
DH had serious lower back trouble with his sacroiliac joint which was managed with ice, gentle exercise and massive injections.

No experience or knowledge of this condition. Let’s hope it’s nothing that will impede his young life too much. Medicine has improved so much, that most conditions can be managed, if not cured.
Our family has had a fair share of health issues, but managed to deal with them and overcome them with the help of modern treatments.
I wish your GS all the best.

Never heard of it before - but 13 year old GS just been diagnosed. If anyone has any experience I would be interested to hear.
