Hi every 1 i'm new to this site.
i have recently found out i have hip dysplasia. i have stuggled growin up with long walking dancing etc bu never really new what the pain was so i just ignored it.
i found out i was pregnant in 2005 and i was really struggling to walk when i started gettin bigger, spoke to my midwie about it and she told me i had SPD. a condition which u can get during pregnancy. so i left it at that, i thought well she knows what she on about. after giving birth i was alot better even though i couldnt deliver him and had to have a c-section.
Few weeks after giving birth the pain strarted again when walking, doing the usual day to day things cleaning etc.
but i still left it n didnt go 2 my gp.
2008 it started getting so bad i couldnt walk ne where.
so i decided to go see my gp. who later sent me 4 an x-ray. 3 days after i had a call from my gp asking me to go in. where i found out what the problem was. i was very upset,couldnt believe id left goin all that time. i have hip dysplasia with no hip joint there aswell. no wonder i was in so much pain
2 weeks l8r i found i was pregnant again with my second child. i was literally bed bound for nearly 3 n half months.
i finally gave birth again by c-section.
few weeks after i had to see a surgeon which then told me i was to young for the hip replacment and wanted me see a childs surgeon to see if he could do some reconstructive work to last a few yrs b4 the actual hip replacment. so ive been see him and he said that he cud do an operation where they will take bone from my pelvis and thigh bone to try and make a socket for the joint.
i am so so scared about it all
any advice would be great
sorry if ive rabbited on a bit..lol.
i just feel like i need some one to talk o about it who knows more about it etc
my heads just all over the place
thanks for reading
