[QUOTE="sirjames, post: 627932, member: 17960"] Hi Ainslie, First I just wanted to say, for someone who is just 18 years old, you really know how to express yourself extremely well and you are an excellent writer. What you have experienced is extremely typical for someone who has ICH. Very few doctors are aware of this condition, as it is so extremely rare. As I stated above, there are only 130 cases documented in medical journals, which is out of 7.2B people in the world. Seeing that you are just 18 years old, a THR would not be a good option for you as your body is might not be completely done growing, usually women stop growing at around 18. However, due to hormones, it is possible you might still grow a little more and a good doctor will consider this possibility and delay the surgery. My wife's doctors would not allow her to have her THR until 29. You should speak with your doctors and see what they would think about a hip fusion, due to your age. I have done a lot of research and from what you have described, you may be at the 3rd stage, which is where my wife was as well. [/QUOTE]
