    Emmerline, so sorry for your pain and problems, and at such a young age. I would suggest that you also post this in the Hip Replacement Forum, where you will probably get more replies. I have seen threads there started by very young people with hip problems from birth who have had hip replacements. Here is the link: https://patient.info/forums/discuss/browse/hip-replacement-1109

    Good luck!

      And I see that you have already gotten a reply there, from someone who has a very similar experience! 

      Best of luck in the future, as you get treatment/surgery for this condition.
