Hi im a 30 year old female who had scfe at
age 11. I had both my hips pinned,Through
the years I had little pain or complaints,
Well about 2 years ago I started having a
little pain and started to limp. Well now
my pain has grown so much. My mobility to
move my right hip is limited. Im a single
mother of three and just keeping up with
my daily house chores and kids is becoming
so difficult. I no longer able to squat
down like I use to , I cant even tie my
right shoe let alone touch it. My hip
becomes stiff after sitting on a chair for
a period of time, And when I do stand up
those first two steps kill me. I recently
went to the doc. and told I had severe
arthritis in my right hip. Now im
scheduled to see a specialist and taking
so many pain killers. Im wondering if
anyone has or is going through this same
thing. my best way to explain this is im
30 but feel like 70 years old....

Hip Arthritis Posted: 11-11-07 18:50pm
I am 33 years old and have osteoarthritis
in both hips. I was diagnosed with
bilateral hip dysplasia at age 29 and had
a scope to fix a torn labrum. I have since
has 2 children and the hips are worse. I
have recently lost a lot of weight - and
that did not help. I went back to the doc
and he sadi my hips are worse - with cysts
and osteoarthritis. He told me that a
replacement would be in the near future. I
am also looking into a surgery to
"reconstruct" my own hips - but recovery
is long and my little one is only 7
months! I am also looking into
resurfacing.
I understand how you feel. My doctor told
me I had the hips of a seventy year old! I
have a difficult time after I have been
sitting. I can't walk right - and my hip
is stiff and feels like it is giving out.
I also fing it hard to get comfortablr in
car or chair - always shifting to find the
right position so my hips don't ache. I am
still able to exercise - mostly walking. I
am limping by the end of my walks though.
I too feel like I am too young to have hip
problems.
I am not sure what it is you had done -
(scfe)?
