Hi everyone, I wanted to get some insight from those with similar experiences. I was diagnosed at age of 31 with hip dysplasia and early-stage osteoarthritis, and I had an MRI back in December 2024. Over the past year and four months, I’ve been doing various hip physiotherapy and strengthening for my hip and glutes. Generally, I’ve done well, but sometimes the pain flares up, especially after long trips with a lot of standing or walking. Last year, I also spoke with my orthopedic surgeon about the possibility of a POA, but he said it really depends on my pain level. So, what do you all think—can Osteoarthritis progress that quickly, even with rehab, or is this just a normal flare-up? I’d really appreciate any advice or similar stories!
