I was recently diagnosed with congenital hip dysplasia and miserable malalignment. This blog will be a chronicle of my journey through diagnosis, surgery, and physical therapy.

10 weeks
I know, it's been awhile since I posted anything. My personal life has been a hot mess the last month and things are finally back the way they should be. I've been cleared for all activity short of running (but I don't like to run anyways). I've made a few trips to the gym so far, but pain and plans have been keeping me from going as much as I would like. I had only 4 physical therapy appointments since I had my ROM when I began. The PT just gave me lots of home exercises to do. My scar is still ugly and purple. I'm ready for it to blend in a little bit. At my last appointment I got a prescription for a 24 hour anti-inflammatory because my hip was hurting bad with my knee. I still get a lot of pains shooting from my hip down my entire leg. It's not very encouraging for my surgery future. I go back to the doctor in a month and hopefully will be discussing my continued pain and what we should do next.
