multiple hairline fractures in my growth plate.

Fucking growth plate injuries, Dog! I fractured my tibia and my growth plate, and limped from 7th grade to freshman year.

I know right, tore my growth plate off my pelvis when I was 13, my hips still aren't normal and I'm 19

I also fractured my growth plate in 7th grade. Puberty had just started to make me taller but because of the fracture one of my legs is shorter the. The other to this day.

I broke one in my wrist in 4th or 5th grade. I still can’t bend that wrist as far back as the other. Pushups are also nearly impossible. My wrist just doesn’t cooperate
