[QUOTE="Candace, post: 552166, member: 15257"] Hi Shaleah and shellyd67, I was doing a little online research and stumbled upon your post in this forum. My son was diagnosed with idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip a year ago. He was 13 at the time. He's been through physical therapy which did help some but he's not 100% better. He has a gate when he walks and its obvious his hip looks crooked. People ask him all the time what happened...thinking he injured his leg or something. My husband and I are in search of a new doctor. We are hoping to find someone with more knowledge on this disease as it seems that most doctors are unsure of what to do about it. It's VERY frustrating. My son has been through so many x-rays and even an MRI. He's very frustrated that he can no longer play basketball. He is done with his physical therapy(because of insurance reasons) and now we are in search of the right doctor. A couple doctor's wanted to do surgery. Also, we've been told that he will need total hip replacement surgery when he's 20. :( [/QUOTE]
