:x I am a 34 yr old f. I have bcdh ( bil. Con. Hip dysplasia). I had been out of the hospital from thr 6 weeks nwb, when just I fell over in my home. Instant severe pain in l knee. Felt like someone twisted and pulled on my l leg as I fell. Same leg I just had operated on, which has 4 cables, 3 screws, strut graft and long-stem rod, with osteotomy. (could I have twisted it where the osteotomy was, therefore twisting the knee? I was standing on r leg when I tipped over, landed on my back facing opposite direction. Even with all the hip pain i've had since I was 2, i'd never felt anything like this. I went & had xrays done asap. Nothing. Mri, about 4 months later... Nothing. More xrays... Natta. Therapy just made it worse. I have been through everything I know on the net, in books, through doctors and friends. To this day (1 yr on dec. 12) I still cannot put trusted weight on it. It gives out on me without the bledsoe brace,but I don't like wearing it all the time due to more possible weakening. Needless to say my l hip is as floppy as a cooked noodle, due to not getting it rehabed properly. Doing ultrasound & e-stim. In pt this time round, but doesn't seem to be helping. I need sugestions on what to do or not to do...I went through near 5 yrs of research to find a doctor to "fix" my hips, then I go & do this. I am at my wits end... & that isn't good when I already suffer from double-depression!! Any takers?? :?:
