Lets talk about Dysplasia of the Hip, which is what I have. Checking Wikkepidea it gave me two choices one for Hip Dysplasia(canine) or Hip Dysplasia (human). Referring to the German shepherds, I don't want to be put down, soooo I believe I chose wisely. Human.
So Wikkepidea says:
Hip dysplasia, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)[1] or congenital dysplasia of the hip (CDH)[2] is a congenital or acquired deformation or misalignment of the hip joint.
What Dr. Richard Jackson told me was that my hips didn't develop properly after I I was born. I told him about my broken leg at 2 months old and being in body casts he said that may have contributed but did not cause it.
The following is a quiz...What picture best depicts what my hip looks like.
Did you guess!? If you guessed C you would be right.
So what happens now. On August 3rd I get to have a hip resurfacing which is where they place a titanium and chrome piece in.
The doctor said I'll be back to normal within 3 weeks. Much to my PT's delight, she will be able to punish/push me even further.
Oh in case you were wondering....the MRI stated I have unremarkable Ovaries.
So much for Bursitis...at least I know what it is now.
