- A sore hip didn't bother Zach Lindsey too much. As an active student athlete, a few aches and pains were just a part of the game. But when three weeks of ice and ibuprofen didn't help, it was time to see the doctor. In this Children's Channel video podcast, Zach and his mom, Sue, share the story of how some timely help from the Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at Akron Children's Hospital saved a lifetime a leg problems.
I have this in my left hip. Happened when I was 12 and I'm 17 now and have had 5 surgeries. It was pretty severe. I hate not being able to do as much stuff and being self conscious about it all the time, especially cause I have a limp now and people always ask me about it. Some people don't understand how much Scfe affects you because they aren't going through it.
can i ask, I have a limp but little pain sometimes a sharp pain in my hip or knee and have a limp in my walk with a clicking sound everytime I limp. Do you suppose I have it or may it be something else, only because I know that you have had it
Bethany Mcteare seek medical help right away because that would happen to me
i have been to the doctors once and they said they didn't know so have sent me to another one to see on Monday but they think its inflamed muscles and will need steroid injections but that only concerns me because I know it is easily misdiagnosed by people who know nothing about it
Bethany Mcteare oh
Alyssa Cheek hi my names masen and I have the same condition that u have and I was wondering will I ever be able to play soccer again because I love it so much and my surgery is in two days and I just wanted a second opinion
I'm 44 years old. I was pinned at 13. Steer clear of full contact sports and running. You can do it. Just remember that what you do today can influence what you experience tomorrow. I took real good care of myself and I'm now living with arthritis. Never could get my flexibility back. You might be suited for a resurfacing at some point, but with current technology you want to avoid full hip replacement until after you are fifty. It is a long way off, but if you could only know this now instead of figuring out out then...
Take care of yourselves kids. Swimming, biking, and rowing are great for people like us!
Thanks much!
What did they say was the cause for the arthritis
In 2011 i had this surgery done at the chlidrens in pittsburgh.(did not know i had it since the begining of 09) i had stage 4 chonic acute scfe i had a 80 percent chance of a hip replacement at the age of eleven. two years later i placed second in the state of pa for pa junior wrestling.I have had absolutely no problems with the hip and just shows that a person with scfe can do anything a normal person can do.
His story is the same as my story, I didn't know there were other people out there like me.
aleeyahward me to
me either I just had my surgery on the 14th
same for me
same SCFE is no joke
same
I just had surgery like this
Me too! Did you have a surgery somewhere in your thigh and got a screw in there!? Are you in a wheelchair!? Homeschooled!?
Had my surgery at 11 years old. The best advise that my doctors gave me was to keep myself strong. Weight-lighting is a major component of my workouts. It helps with so much. Yes, we will have arthritis in the future but that’s inevitable. Do your best do not be afraid of playing competitive sports.
I had it when I was 11 aswell
Had mine between 11 and 12 too,
Yes I had mine when I was 12 . I try to keep working out and eating right
My son had surgery October 28th because of slipped capital femural epiphysis. He was 6 at the time. He limped for close to 5 weeks prior to his emergency surgery. I took him to an orthopedic doctor twice, his pediatrician, ER's. Nobody could tell me why my 6 year old was limping and in so much pain. Finally I had enough and took him to one of the best ER's around and they x ray'd his hip. We went to Nationwide Children's in Columbus and he had surgery that night. Doctor Julie Somara performed his surgery. Wonderful surgeon by the way. He wore a spica cast for 32 days and had to learn how to walk again. A little over 3 months later he's doing great. Walks a little funny is all. He gets his pins out in a couple days. 😁
Good morning. We're glad to hear it went so well!
The same thing happened to me I'm from a town about 1 hour away from Columbus ohio. I had played football with this and as a lineman and linebacker I use a lot of leg work. The pain was unbearable. The doctors were very nice and I'm happy it's fixed I'm planing on getting back on the field my sophomore year.
Been there done that. It went unnoticed by doctors for 6 months. After many visits at the doctors they figured it out. Barely being able to walk for 2 months and then they figured out what it was and i was put in emergency room and had emergency surgery the morning after. So happy i got this done, one more month unnoticed and i’d not be able to walk anymore. I had a pretty severe case of this unfortnuantly and i still can’t play any sports since i’m not really capable to run. Hopped around on crothes for 3 months so i got pretty much upper body muscles so kinda happy about that lol. My upper arms, shoulders and chest is pretty brutally strong and big wich i’m quite happy about.
I had this surgery done back in 1987. I was one of the first in the UK to undergo this. I still remember the pain before surgery. My mum thought I was trying to get out of Physical Education at school, but it got so bad that I couldn't step up a small curb. Eventually I went to our GP who referred me to the hospital for x-rays. I remember it so clearly. I was in my school uniform because it was a morning appointment, and my mum was taking me straight back to school after. I had the x-rays, we were about to leave and we were called back. I was admitted straight away. Put on traction for 7 days and then underwent surgery to pin my right hip. Recovery was a lot longer back then also. I was in hospital for 3 months. I was wheeled round to the hospital school in my hospital bed every day. When I came out I was in a wheelchair for a while and then crutches. Things were getting better. I started with hydrotherapy and then physiotherapy. One day while at the hospital having physio, they got me to lay on my back and with one leg at a time, slide it outwards as far as I can and then back. Did it fine with the operated side. But when I tried to bring my good leg back in, I had the same excruciating pain... again. My surgeon came down to see me from his rounds and had me admitted that day. The same had happened to my good leg. So... same scenario over again.
18 months later I had both pins removed. Things have been ok. Have had pain over the years, but nowhere near as bad as it was. Unfortunately tho, I found out 2 years ago at the age of 37 that I have secondary arthritis in both hips due to the slipped bits. And degenerative osteoarthritis in both knees.
Hello all. I'm now age 31. I was 11 yrs old when I had my surgery on my left hip. I've had very minor problems through out the years. I have never been able to sit indian style, but other then that, it has given me no real intense pain after the fix. They watched my other leg for several years after, but all has been well. When I was 26yrs old I was diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis and Lupus. I am mlt positive if these are or can be connected to the hip problem. Good luck to anyone who has had this surgery or meeds to get it. Recovery was a bit rough from what I remember, but my symptoms prior too were far worse. It seems like it's better to spot now a days. About 20 yrs ago, it took me walking with a severe limp and pain that prevented me from walking at all for 3 and a half yrs before they finally officially diagnosed me. Best of luck out there.
How was your recovery on mobility, eg. loss of internal rotation?
I'm a strength athlete, and i had surgery about 5-6 years ago, and i'm trying to rehabilitate the loss of internal rotation so i can squat properly.
@@Jovahkiiin hey have you seen any progress with your hip mobility? It's so hard for me to squat low and deep
Glad to hear you are back on your feet!
I'm gonna have the surgery tomorrow Thank you guys for your feedback on the surgery because it's gonna help me a lot
I hope everything went well. My child had this. He's recovered well.
I had this but I just got surgery it is absolutely devastating
Sergio Cavazos why ???
I had scfe a few months ago I was limping for a few weeks and playing softball while apparently my hip was broken, we finally went to the doctor and the took x-rays... I had same day emergency surgery.
I just got diagnosed with the same thing but over in England I think we call it a sufe, but it’s nice too hear other people stories and to know that you aren’t the only person out there who has this problem even three years after you posted the comment.
I found out I had this after 4 months of PAIN and I'm having surgery tomorrow..when I was watching this video, everything related to me.Lol I'm 13 btw
Sabrina Najera how do you feel now I had that same surgery last month
Same I went to the doctor went to school got pulled out again found out I'm having surgery the same day
Same but for me I had to wait a year
@@sergiocavazos1263 just had mine tidy
@@qlex999 hope u revover well👍👍
I didnt know other people had the same surgery as me. I had the hip surgery on both hips and was on crutches for 6 weeks as well.
Im so happy to know there is other people the same as me, im so nervous about this but this eased off some presure
i had the surgery this past summer and i’m still surprised that it put me in more pain 🤭😭
@@katherinelenz70 what did the doctors say
@@ryandolan1577 Well, I wasn’t able to walk properly (no assistance from a cane or crutches) from May to late August. Just recently I had these tight contractions around my hip, but I concluded that it was my scar tissue healing. That incident lasted a few days, and now I actually feel much better than before the surgery. I think the scar tissue healing was one of the final “breakthroughs” in my recovery process.
@@ryandolan1577 I always asked a lot of questions during my check-ups over then summer. Even if you think the question is dumb, ask; it doesn’t hurt.
Sorry to hear it. Hope it's doing better now.
I had the same surgery when I was 11 years old. I'm now 61. My parents took me to our family Dr and he told them to take me to a bone specialist. Before I could see the specialist I fell down a small sand pile and could not get up. When I finally made it to the specialist,days later, he put up the X-rays and you could see that my thigh bone was completely separated from my hip bone. This was back in 1973, I was immediately taken to the hospital. I stayed there until Thanksgiving and went back in after Christmas to have same surgery ( pins put in joints) done to my other hip. The second surgery was easy because my bones were not damaged from a fall. The joints were not fully dislocated. I missed most of my first year of junior high school. But it was traumatic at first not knowing why I was in so much pain. And It was my first time having to walk from class to class. By the end of the day I was dragging my leg. I could barely make it to my bus to make it home. But it seems like things have gotten better since then.
At your age now of 61 ,Are you experiencing any pain or stiffness ? My doctor told me I could have arthritis when I get older .
It’s crazy how similar your story is to mine. I had this surgery done when I was 12, I’m 24 now. Can you tell me about your experience being older having had the surgery?
I am so glad that this video is here as earlier tonight i was told by a doctor that i have SCFE and will have to undergo an operation where they will put pins in both my hips. This was really comforting as i will get the operation in a couple of weeks time and im just nervous and worried about the effects of it
Good luck with your procedure!
AkronChildrens Thank you
I have had 4 surgery I've been going through this since summer or2013
i had surgery on valintines day and now i can run but a little pain now and then :)
HannahBanana how little my where you on crutches for
*I had this surgery at 11 and I have been living like i havent had it..I still workout but limited because my leg is pinned outward..I have a limp that is noticable but I have gotten use to it..I use a lift but it barely helps so I just limp it out..I have a difficult time going up stairs..arthritis has kicked all the way in now at 34 and my leg stiffs and it feels like its stick to my right leg..my right leg is carrying all my weight..I can only bend to my right..I cant do anything with my left..I am trying to shoot for disability now but I NEVER LET THIS STOP ME*
I have this right now I have to have surgery again I had 2
I hope you get well
and i still have it i had my last surgeory this year
Im 16 5'11 and had it for several months playing through basketball games everything you said but the pain just got worse went to the doctor had an x-ray nothing. Played four basketball games and then my leg just went. Had to goto a couple doctors before i was told my femur fractured at the top my growth plate was fubar and a scfe. Its been a crazy year but everything came out well haha
When I first heart about this and the doctor told me "the child can no longer do activities like foot ball etc," I was very heart broken. All the boys in my primary school kicked around balls. Telling one that he can no longer do that is heart breaking. He was to watch his friends play and he cannot. I don't think people understand that this (sudden disability) isn't very easy for a child to take in.
You can play now
Good luck. Hope you are better soon.
I am still recovering and I had my op in December and have had three operations on both legs and I have massive scars I love sports too and I haven’t been able to do the in just under a year plus I was in hospital on Christmas Day
Sisters Life how do you feel now???
Hope you are doing better now!
(pt 2) surgery was a bigger one that would completely fix it but this would be a 11 month recovery..the risk of the smaller one was it was a high risk of re injury and would involve a complete hip replacement which means no sports ever again..i decided to take the big one which he had never preformed and has only been preformed in the us 16 times...i was on crutches for 5 months..but keep ur head up zach that is a very good hospitle they really know how to take care of you..thank you dr. ritzman
I had that surgery in February I'm 11 I was out of school for 2 weeks but m pretty fine now can't wait til I can run again
I was playing basketball then I started having pain and they told me it was a pulled hamstring but t I kept having pain after my recovery time so I went to Texas children's hospital and they told me I had a SCFE and I had emergency surgery the next day recovery was pretty easy for me. Six months pass and then I'm in pain and I go back to the hospital and they tell me your growth plate is fine everything is normal except my femur was slamming into my bone Everytime I walk so three weeks pass and it's time for me to have another surgery to put an artificial cushion there. My surgery was eight hours and they took my screw out from my SCFE and they said I had major arthritis so they poked holes in my cartilage. So here we are three weeks later and I'm sitting here wrapped in Ace bandages and looking a SCFE surgeries and holding my screw. This comment was to tell you even though things happen you can get through it even though I can never play softball or basketball again I still stay positive knowing what the future holds may be great. So stay positive even though it may seem hard you can make it through. Hope you guys have a nice day and a very happy new year
@ThatGuyOnTheSubway 3 weeks but i used got off them to early and cased pain i got surgery in october and still cant run well without pain cant even walk alot without slight pain..until ur done growing running will not be the same
I had the same thing and I played basketball and I played through the pain and the doctors finally found it now its 2 months since the surgery and going in for the other side yay
I have this condition. I'm going to have surgery.
I have the same i fell in soccer mow im going to surgery tomorrow and im really scared but mine is on one leg
I had this surgery as an emergency surgery the day I got my x-rays and was in the hospital for days recovering and learning how to use a wheelchair crutches and a walker and going through physical therapy I’ve had this surgery on both my hips one worse than the other
Had my surgery at 11 12 and was great until a accident at 16 when 1 pin bent and the other loosened so i had them removed and that left me with a long time of problems to this day, iam 38 and need a full hip replacement and have dysplasia and massive arthritis, be smart and safe and take care of your health it goes so fast.
I fell over when I was 13 caused severe scfe, got both hips pinned then when I was 16 I had my left hip replaced gave ne a whole new lease of life, going through the rest of high-school was hard due to not being able to do sport with friends, but I can still do swimming and cycling which isn't too bad, probably gonna need a new hip replacement in the future due to how young I am, this condition isn't published enough and parents are not made aware of the risks sadly, my doctor mistook the pain I was having for a football sprain injury, 2 months later I fell and had to get my hips pinned can all change so fast
I was worried about my son. He was limping and sat funny. Pcp said it was growing pains for 2 yrs. I finally took to an ortho doc. Glad I did. We just got back from surgery this morning at LeBonheur children’s hospital. He now has 4 screws. Btw. He will be 15 in Nov
I had both hips as well
I had a surgery like this on October 1st 2019 I played sports and when my coach told me to run I could barley and I walked with my foot out
I have this condition and the bone slipped over 60% because none of the doctors new what it was until I went to an orthopedic and then I was put in a wheel chair because I had it in both hips and had pins put in but since it slipped so much I need a hip replacement at 17 and I'm 14 now and have full arthritis in my hips and knees I haven't done gym in 3 years I can't do sports or physical activity until I get the hip replacement this really sucks I have had 3 surgeries the first two was where they put the pin in both hips and the next one was they took the pin out a cut off some of my hip bone that was bothering my in normal everyday actives like walking and sitting down now I can't run and do sports and I get bullied and call names like penguin a school because I waddle or limp because one of my legs slipped more than the other and one leg in shorter and it really sucks I would love to chat with other people my age who have this condition
+Carissa ! Hi, Carissa. My name is Roselyn and I have the same problem that you have. Im 11
Roselyn Camacho I got it at the same age as you, I hope you don't get it as bad, good luck :)
+RissaRamblesOn419 ! hey i got the condition too
Hi Samirah, im sorry for your problem. How old are you?
Oh and must I add I was like this for 8.5 months
that how it all started for me but I hade 4 surgies since I was diagnose I am still on crutches and still can't walk on my legs
Rodneysha Parker 🤕
i got the surgery a few days ago so its better now
I’ve had a Sciffy in both my hips. And I’m about to have surgery again because one of my screws in my hips got fractured
Hi I’m 21 years of age and I really bad anxiety of what’s going to happen in the future.
im 21 i had the surgery when i was 13 and it has not hurt since then up untill i started playing football with my younger brother its been killing me since then
I had this same problem and surgery
U guys saying u can still play sports sound young. Hopefully u won't face the arthritis as u r in ur 20's, 30's, 40's. I'm 31 have had kids, and pins in both hips taken out when I was 26 (late) now have arthritis lots of pain can NOT run or jump. At least I can walk and stuff. Very grateful for that.
i had surgery in august that was a big week but it was a lot bettr than getting a hip replacment
This happened to me 1 year ago. Kind of the same story as me.
This happed to me but i was on crutches for 3 months! It was hell
Good luck. Hope you'll be running again soon!
If anyone sees this you can reach out I had scfe both hips have screws dealt with this throughout middle school now I'm 18 and still have trouble
i had this scfe surgery this past summer. but only on 1 hip. i feel like i haven’t improved that much bc i feel like pain has gotten worse
this is what i had
Hi I’m 21 years of age and I really bad anxiety of what’s going to happen in the future. Is it guaranteed I’m going to have arthritis young when I don’t have no pain at all in my hips since getting it pinned ?
i have this....im a 18 year old girl....i was having pain for years...always seemed to be around the time of new shoes or something to that affect. my knee swelled they thought i had water on the knee. went to an orthopedic dr. i was told if i walked on my leg one more time i could lose the leg. my hip was that bad off. they put me on cruches and a week later i was having surgery. they took screw out 4 years later it was healing but not well. i now can flip my leg compleatly backwards.
i just had a surgery like this this last summer hahah. i couldn’t walk 10 weeks it was so bad
This happened to me when I was 12 and j had it fixed with a screw! I’ve been fine since but recently as a 28 year old I’m taking my health a bit more seriously. I’ve been really working on my mobility and everything seems to be improving except my hip mobility! Is the screw preventing my from improving my hip mobility?? There is not pain although sometimes it almost seems like I can feel the screw but that just might be a mental thing?!
I am experiencing this exact problem. Can you do low squats with your heel on the ground? That's incredibly difficult for me to do
My pins had to be removed from a accident and i have really bad range of motion and bad arthritic build up
I was out for a year with this it was tough but now I'm playing bball again but it sometimes gets sore
currently my hip feels pretty much the same as they described as the start and I'm really hoping it doesn't turn out to be something like this 😖
i am freakin pissed. today was our first track meet and in the 100 m dash, my hip popped 3 times and i fell and rolled (over the finish line thankfully) i got first still, however i am off the track team for this year and for soccer, which our tournament is this week, i am also out for the rest. i am pissed as hell
meh i had this 3 years ago.........wheel chair for 6 weeks and only physical activity for a year was walking........shitty thing is i feel it happening again with the pins
i had to go through 7 months of pain before anybody realized i had SCFE... that was a pain in the hip
I got this i actually have to grt surgery tomorrow morning
I have this but I got the worst case I’m about to have my 11th surgery for a hip replacement
I’m having my surgery this week. After a year of pain and physical therapy thinking that my hips were out of alignment we found out that I had this today. I’ve never had surgery before, wish me luck 😳
Good luck!
@@AkronChildrens had the surgery, feeling so much better! I get to start walking on Wednesday. There was zero pain after the surgery.
I got this in both legs after 6 months of pain... They could never find it slip during the X-Rays and ultrasounds and blood tests and poking and prodding. Sometimes it would hurt so bad I could not get up. Now I walk with a permanent limp. It sucks that they couldn't find quicker
Borbor Ogiesoba same bro... got it in another leg now.. i wanna kill myself
When I was 12 I had 8 months of pain and limping so my grandma finally decided to bring me to the doctor and I had to have surgery the next day. They put 2 screws in my body one on each side. Currently, a year has passed and I'm 13 now but I still have pain but on the opposite side from where the original limping was. Does anyone know why?:0
this exact thing happened to me..at first i thought it was my knee because that was the part that was hurting...but after 9 monthes of walking on it i finally met with dr. todd ritzman and he had told me what was going on and that i had to get same day surgery because it was slipped 91% off the hip. he gave me two surgery options one was he could go in and temperarly fix it and go in again in 6 months to completely fix it and that would be a 7 month recovery all together.. and the other other
Be warry, im 15 years old, happened to me when i was 12 and just a couple months ago i found out that i now have avascular necrosis because of the surgery. Just saying it might happen to some of you too, get it checked out if it starts to hurt again
dumdum363 this happen to me too, the comment was 5 years ago so if by chance you see this, how is everything? Did u get a hip replacement? I have to get one in like 3 years kinda nervous
Good job Zach!!
Bui hey, how come Max didn"t get to be in the video???
I can relate to this cuz I had surgery and I thought that I was the only one
I had the exact same thing happen to me back in 2003
How are you feeling today?
My goth plate separated from the hip. Talk about the pain
I have had it done on both sides
wow i cant believe i have all these people that are just like me
Right !
im still in alot of pain... but im also a firefighter so i know that does not help. does anyone know if there is something i can do for the pain. i have stopped Firefighting activitys due to me being in college. Im on Alieve pain meds every day taking surgery strangth. and pain is over a 10 most days.
I had the surgery last year in April on my left hip, and now my right hip is starting to get a the same symptoms as well. is it possible that I could be getting scfe on the right hip?
i had the same thing my doctor couldn't figure it out for a while, was yours stable or unstable. stable being able to walk on it or unstable being that you cant walk on it at all, and do you have 1 screw or multiple screw
Ayyyy this happened to me when I was 12 nice. Never able to do the splits again so sucked to be a dancer lmao. Can’t wait for everyone in the comments to get a hip replacement in the future!!
I had pins placed then after surgery I was in a wheelchair for a month then I was on crutches for 4 months
I had the same thing but for me I was in a wheelchair cause I had both legs with scfe after my last soccer game
im one of the few rare girls who got this. mine was extreme and my doctor messed up my 2nd and 3rd surgery. i had 7 surgeries all together and 5 of them were to correct the 2nd. im only 16 and i need a total hip replacement when im older...my new doctor says ill never have a normal hip again and cuz of this my whole life is ruined.
ashley leipziger girl I’m right there with you. When I was 9 my hip slipped completely. Couldn’t walk, couldn’t sit, couldn’t even make it into the emergency room without screaming bloody murder. Needed a pin in my hip. The doc messed up. Had multiple surgeries to fix it. I also had an external fixater. I was waking up everyday in pain. Crying all the time. You know how it goes. I got my hip replacement when I was 18. If you ever need a hip replacement. Get it! You won’t regret it. Best decision of my life.
Believe it or not I got this too!
Boston messed up on my surgery
Jakari Glenn did you have dr.kramer?
No
I had this before and when I went to school the next day a lot of seventh graders started saying that I was faking it and the even posted a video on instagram and Snapchat and it went on for like about 2 weeks
Ernesto Martinez my whole family thought I was attention seeking for a while until I was taken to a doctor and now I have a surgery scheduled in two days question: were u out in a wheel chair for a little after surgery or crutches jw
depends
Animal Tube the same happened to me too they thought that i am only joking its nothing after that they realized
Scfe ruins lives and the surgical methods are a complete disaster. Doctors lie and tell patients that in a few months they will be back to normal running jumping and playing sports but that is a terrible lie. I had both hip in situ pinned when I was 14 and since then I have experienced pain every single day since. I am 38 now and I have been due for a double hip replacement since I was about 22. About 10 years ago I was very close to having a hip replacement and I am sure glad I didn't because the device the surgeon was planning to use was later recalled. I am unable to do any of the activities I previously enjoyed as a teenager and young adult. I was extremely active prior to this and spent a lot of my time surfing swimming scuba diving skydiving and riding dirt bikes and I am unable to do any of it anymore due to the condition of my hips. I have realized that the only way I will ever be out of pain is when I am dead.
U are very right. It really feels like the only way out is wen I am dead. And it hurts even harder wen I realise I might not be able to enjoy pregnancy like other people
Hi I'm 19 I've been trying to deal with this from I was 15 I was the same and active teen done soccer boxing and was working as a painter and decorater and that has had to stop because of the pain I get from my right and left hip and knee iv had 5 operations but it really only gave me more flexibility the pain only improved for a while the I went out to work with my dad for a week and was unable to get out of bed couldn't walk long distances it's affected every part of my life I struggle to go into relationships just out of fear that I'm not going to be able to keep up or they don't accept me when they find out about my hips the doctors have told me that mines is degenerative and I will need a hip replacement when I'm 30 I'm terrified if you could get reply to this and give me any advice to help deal with it and try and move on the doctors just keep giving me more and more opioids if it wasn't for having a weed in my life I would be addicted to the pain killers I'm on and it scares me cause there extremely strong pain killers if you could reply that would mean alot
@@DBZ02 hey it gets easier. Just try to keep active but not too much. Always stretch and eat right. Some people are more severe than others.
just had this surgery. it sucks. i missed a month of school, and i am doing pretty well. i am just off my crutches. i have a question for you guys. how long did it take you o loose your crutches. took me a month and a half. please respond
I was in a wheelchair for 7 wks and crutches for just under 6wks
What surgery did you have
YeH I just got back from the doctor. I also just found out I have a Skiffy (but I only weigh 84 pounds because of Crohn’s disease!) So it’s pretty weird.
Having any autoimmune disease actually puts you at risk for it!
This happened to me... I broke my hip.. my knee hurt for like a year...and I got a surgery so yea
Madi Marie can you just explain to me how your hip felt when u had to get surgery? i’ve had the worst hip pain for 3 weeks and i’m getting it X-rayed this week and it hurts when i move it and walk and even lay down. do you have any advice or possibly know what it is?
I was 9 when I walked for six weeks with my hip I have eds and all my joints come out i have had both hips pinned and in a week having another major hip surgery because I have grown too much. I am very worried and only 11. I am one of the youngest cases ever. Please like so they can see.
I had to get both of my hips done. It hurt so bad. It felt like I could move without it hurting. It now causes me to have knock knee and I'm having surgery the first week of summer to get them fixed. I gotta question tho. Is anybody else's leg still numb from the surgery that was three years ago??
Sydney Stewart umm in the beginning
10 years later and part of my leg is still numb yeah
why they say this only happens to overweight kids..??
My schl mates make joke of me saying that THIS GIRL CAN'T WALK NORMALLY. SHE'S SO OLD. LOOK AT HER LIMPS. Even one of my school teacher was looking for a child who can go to the classroom ( which was 3 stories up) and get back her register. Fortunately or unfortunately she called me " HEY GIRL COME HERE " as soon as i move back and see saw my face she laughed and said "OMG IDK IT WAS U, U CAN GO BACK i was confused that why was she saying like that until and unless another teacher came and she asked her what happened why are u laughing? And she said I WANT MY REGISTER SO I WAS LOOKING FOR A CHILD BUT SEE WHO I GOT THIS GIRL WHO ALWAYS HAVE A LIMP, CAN'T WALK PROPERLY. And both of them started laughing. They think that they're doing a gr8 job but never know how can a prsn got hurt becoz of it :) they will never know how bad scfe feel

How long was he on crutches for
Good morning. I'm sorry. We don't have that information, but he was doing well at the time of the video.
I went through an SCFE Surgery once and I was on crutches for 6 weeks
I would say if you have SCFE you'll be on crutches for circa 6 weeks after the surgery. But it just depends if you are feeling alright or not.
