Can I just go to the gp and ask for a knee growth plate x-ray?

[wastedspermcel]

Did my wrist a few months ago but just learnt that open wrist growth plates ≠ open knee/leg growth plates, so I've become paranoid asf that my distal femur and proximal tibia might be fused or close to fusing.

Those 2 growth plates are the main ones contributing to leg length and therefore height. Do I just straight up ask my indian gp or go to the a&e like a dickhead (which my mum deffo won't let me do).

Yeah but at the radiology place they asked if I wanted a wrist or leg xray
I just went with left wrist tbh

I got this done at a private center to avoid excessive wait times and it cost 20$ for the xray

I said I had constant palpitations.

 

[halloweed]

For ur circumstance u can say that you’re experiencing so much pain in your knees and it might be growth pains.

Wouldn't they just say that if it's growth pains I can go home? Imma do it anyway next week, I won't say the pain is from recent blunt trauma because they can easily test for that and it's hard to fake

Just over exaggerate the pain and drag it out 80% chance they’ll perform an xray . In my case, I dragged the palpitations out so much but the waiting time was long.
