I am really struggling at the min with pain, mainly when my hip goes side ways. Getting out of bed, going downstairs (not upstairs?), getting out of the car and many other times lol.
When I was 18 I went to the doc's and asked them about them being removed and they said they don't and wont touch them if they are giving me any trouble (which they weren't at the time). The pain is getting me down now, it is bareable but i'm just worried as its not right to be living with this pain and i look stupid with random outbursts of pain lol.
Just wondered if anyone else gets this and if they do have they had their pins removed and was it any better? Do you just shut up and deal with it when the pain occur's? Should my pins have been removed after the operation or at 13 when the gap had closed?
I work full time and cant afford time off for an operation and recovery, but also dont want to just live in pain randomly. Dont know anyone thats had their hips pins and could do with talking to people with the same problems. I have read peoples stroies on here and some sound horrible. So I count myself lucky that I didnt have to go through all that. It wasn't a very big issue for me at the time. I'd say i'm suffering more now I have got older. Its been 16 years since I had them pinned and just wondering what the future will hold for my hips????
I have tried googing it and this website has given me more info than I could find elsewhere. Please help. Raich x
