I had pain and problems long before that but they also wanted to hold off on replacing mine due to age so a good chiropractor helped me through several years until it was bone scraping bone.
This Support Group is for abdominal/pelvic adhesions (scar tissue) which I also have all of my adult life.
There is a support group for hip replacements at totallyhip.org. If you click on the Delphia Forum instead of the #1 Board (main board) some off them hung out on there. I met a few women (not many) there who had Perthese Disease. I also have their personal email addresses if you would like them. One of them was only in her late 20's when she had hers replaced.
Most of us with Perthes Disease didn't have good results from our hip replacements for some reason. There is also a site specifically for Pergthese Disease but I forget the web address because it was all parents with children who have it, not adults inflicted with it.
You can email me if you prefer at creative@enter.net. JEAN
