Mother forces her daughter to skip 3000 ropes every day
The little girl Yuanyuan (a pseudonym) looked at her mother and turned to see Dr. Liu Xun. Her face was full of grievances. She is 13 years old. Since her first menstruation at the beginning of the year, her mother, who has always given her maximum freedom, has focused on her rope skipping, jumping 1000 times every day.
Yuanyuan is 1.58 meters tall and weighs nearly 120 kilograms. Her mother's sudden change is actually due to her anxiety about her figure. "Although she has come to menstruation, her epiphysis is not completely closed. If she can seize the opportunity of the last year, she is still hopeful to climb 1.6 meters. Moreover, more exercise can also lose weight. I just want her to be taller and thinner and look more beautiful."
Since the summer vacation, the expectant mother has increased Yuanyuan's rope skipping task from 1000 a day to 1000 in the morning, middle and evening. The little girl can understand her mother's painstaking efforts. She gritted her teeth and insisted day by day. Until not long ago, she suddenly felt pain in her left knee when she jumped. When she didn't move, she could be relieved quickly, and sometimes she could feel dull pain when she walked.
Yuanyuan told her mother how she felt about her body. Unexpectedly, her mother didn't think so. She even felt that her daughter wanted to be lazy. After "sawing" for several days, her mother and daughter had to go to the hospital for professional judgment.
Dr. Liu Xun carefully examined Yuanyuan and basically ruled out meniscus injury. However, it was highly suspected that there was epiphyseal inflammation of tibial tubercle, which was soon diagnosed by X-ray examination. Yuanyuan's mother was speechless and blamed herself for her previous irrational words and deeds.
Mother immediately worried, "how can the child grow tall?"
it happens that there is a similar case! In the outpatient department of trauma of Hangzhou Fuyang traditional Chinese medicine bone injury hospital, Dr. Dong Ting recently received a boy Liangliang (pseudonym) who was also injured by rope skipping. He is 10 years old, and his height and weight are at the middle level among children of his age. But because his mother is less than 1.6 meters tall and his father is less than 1.7 meters tall, he pays special attention to his growth. It is said that more rope skipping can tap the child's growth potential. My mother began to pay close attention to this matter three months ago. She watched him jump 2000-3000 times every day, hoping for a surprise. I never thought, but I was frightened.
About half a month ago, Liangliang shouted foot pain as soon as he jumped the rope, covered his two heels and said nothing. After observing for several days, my mother felt that my son didn't seem to be pretending, so she hurried to the hospital for examination. The diagnosis was calcaneal epiphyseal inflammation.
"Recently, we can't let children jump rope again. Although the pain won't lead to serious sequelae, the longer it takes, the more difficult it will be to relieve it, which will affect the child's normal activities." Dr. Dong Ting reminded Liangliang's mother.
Unexpectedly, Liangliang's mother was in a hurry: "what should I do? How can a child grow tall without skipping rope?"
Dr. Dong Ting patiently explained that calcaneal epiphyseal inflammation and tibial tubercle epiphyseal inflammation are unique aseptic inflammation in children, which will not occur in adults because the epiphyseal has been closed. In the jumping movement represented by rope skipping, the calcaneus and tibia are just the two main force points. When repeatedly pulled and stressed, the epiphysis of the two parts will show aseptic inflammation due to stimulation.
In case of obvious symptoms, you should first stop and rest to avoid strenuous exercise. At the same time, you can also help alleviate the symptoms through physical therapy methods such as local hot compress and massage. If necessary, you can also take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs.
