Neha Johnson is a cheerful 8-year-old...
Neha Johnson is a cheerful 8-year-old who loves ballet. Over the past year, her parents noticed she was becoming increasingly clumsy, tripping more often, and complaining of leg pain after dance class. After a particularly bad fall that resulted in a mild fracture of her forearm from a simple tumble, her pediatrician became concerned. X-rays revealed unusually thin and fragile bones. She was referred to a pediatric orthopedic specialist, Dr. Chen, who diagnosed her with Juvenile Osteoporosis, a rare bone disorder in children. Dr. Chen recommended a course of intravenous bisphosphonate therapy (like pamidronate) to strengthen her bones and prevent future fractures, along with calcium and vitamin D supplements. The treatment involved monthly hospital visits for IV infusions over several hours. Neha was initially scared of the needles and the clinical setting, but the child-life specialists helped her through it with games and distractions. A year later, repeat bone density scans show significant improvement. Her bones are stronger, she hasn't had any new fractures, and she's back in ballet, though with some modifications. Emotionally, Neha went from being fearful and frustrated by her limitations to regaining her confidence and joy in movement. Her parents' constant anxiety has eased, replaced by cautious optimism for her future.
