Subject: Hello, new person here!

Hi everyone, my name is Jess and I'm 28. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with osteo-arthritis resulting from dislocated hips when I was a baby. I've been put on co-codamol and have been referred to a specialist who I will see in early January. His speciality is hip resurfacing and I am being asked to consider surgery. Whilst I am happy that things are moving along quickly I am also very nervous about having surgery again as it was quite a traumatic few years after being diagnosed with dislocated hips! I am also worried about the time I will have to take off (I am studying at university). I just wondered if anyone else out there had developed arthritis as a result of CDH and how you dealt with it? :)

Hello, it is ironic as i am asking the same question in my head. I was diagnosed as a baby and had it corrected, but now at the age of 35 i am finding my left hip painful when i try to get up, i run a lot and don't seem to have a problem with that its just when i get up from seating positions. My daughter also had surgery when she was born and she is now 6 and still under the consultant. I was thinking about visiting the doctor about it, but i might just ask the consultant on my daughters next check up.
