Hi Everyone,
I was diagnosed with Perthes at age 5, I have casts for about 6 months, then I was in traction at home for about another 6 months, then I had Braces on my legs for about another 6 months, so from Kindergarten to Gr. 2 is when I had it.
I'm now 26 years old I'm in the process of getting a new hip, I have been told that its a 50/50% chance of the pain getting worse, but I'm still going to get it done.
if you have any questions feel free to ask.
