My daughter courtney age 4 yrs

[janef]

Hi to everyone!
My daughter courtney age 4 has been diagnosed this week with Perthe's, we are awaitin an appointment at Bristol Childrens Hospital to see a specialist.
She has a awfull limp but dosent complain of any pain at all, so far we have been given Ibruprofen liquid to give her 3 times a day, i am very worried as to the future for her, seen so many things in the last few days on google!
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi

There is a really great support group for parents of perthes kids, which does include a couple of members from England, if you are interested. Everyone there either has a child with perthes, or had it themselves.

Contact me via [e-mail] and I will organise an invitation to the group for you.
