DS is 16 and hasn't yet gone through puberty. He has had blood tests done and they have come back with very low testosterone levels.
GP has referred him to an Endocrinologist, the waiting list is 13 weeks though which seems forever. What is making it worse is that he left school this summer and is applying for jobs but the jobs he wants are manual labour and he is just too small to handle the work :(
I have no idea what the next step is - I imagine they will want to run tests to determine/rule out what is causing the delay. Just wondering if anyone else has been through this and can offer an insight into what is likely to happen.
