hi my names annie
i was 9yrs old when i started to complain to my mum that my knee was hurting i also had a limp. my mum took me to the family doctor were they then sent me to hospital for various tests next thing i know i was going for surgery on my right hip i used crutches and a wheelchair to get around (when there was no adults around ya know what children are like? lol) i had perthes in my left hip too but i think they were not so concerned about it until i fell over my friend and shattered my left hip ( well done me!!!) i was in traction for a few weeks then surgery on my left hip!!!
i had pins in my hips for 2-3 yrs got them removed was told to see my family doctor at the age 18yrs old to check my hips, i never bothered i thought to myself thats all behind me now. my mum and dad kept saying to me you should go and see about your hips cause they could see me limp the odd time more in the winter, i was like no i have no pain they are fine. i went on to get married and have 3 gorgeous children. ( no problems with delivery)
i am now 32yrs old and over the last year or so i have had more and more problems with pain in my hips and tiredness in my lower back, i kept saying to my partner i will have to go and a see the doctor never did until (believe this or not) couple of months back my friend was having a fortune teller at her house so i went to see her, she was the one that talked me into going to get myself sorted out with the family doctor she warned me i had to go. i thought to myself ok thats it im going to go and see the doctor i bet its aload of poo! lol had bloods done and x rays the results of my bloods were fine, my x rays however were not! i have wear n tear in my hands and left hip and my right hip is so wore down that i have a bone cyst, my doctor said because i am only 32 she doesn't know if they will offer me a hip replacement??? as it stands at the moment i am waiting to hear from the hospital i am on a 13 wk waiting list just to get seen!!! but i shall let ya all know how it goes...
i hope i haven't put ya all to sleep lol im not good with spelling actually english in general, but i hope you made some sense of my story.
