Perthes Disease - anyone got it
Anyone have this on here?
Sounds bad but it isn't very hectic for those that don't know what it is.

Perthes Disease is a disease that affects the hip bone where it meets the pelvis. This disease, is seen in children, usually between the ages of five and ten. Boys tend to get this disease more frequently than girls, although girls can also develop it.
In this disease, the hip bone deteriorates due to decreased circulation to the top of the bone, called the "femoral head." The hip joint becomes weak, and is not able to handle weight. This results in pain in the child's hip or knee. Occasionally, there will be a limp. To diagnose this disease, your doctor needs to do x-rays of the hip.
Ive got it on my hip, had it when I was a child, but I haven't had it checked in about 7 years.
Going to get it checked soon I think, wondering if anyone else has it and trains?
I have been doing legs the past couple of years, probably not a good idea, but yeah going to get it checked soon
have a good one...
