How are you? How is your son? How long has he been taking growth hormone? As growth hormone is naturally produced in the human body, its side effects is rare. It has been known, however, to occasionally cause: hypoglycemia, acromegalia, carpal tunnel syndrome in users who do not take the drug as directed or joint pain which is usually temporary.

I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
