advanced puberty and short stature

advanced puberty and short stature

I am struggling with my situation with my 12 year old son, who is short to begin with and has rapidly advanced in puberty, and bone age.  I took him two to prominent doctors who are totally conflicting with their recommendations.  One doctor is advising armidex to delay bones from advancing, not approved for this, and the other doctor is recommending lupron to slow down his puberty.  I am trying to post this in the pediatric endocrinology section and am not able to do so.  I am looking for a solution which is safe and of course allow him to be a reasonable height.  I would appreciate any input how to proceed.
