Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Thanks for the info, mooshters _____ From: mooshters Sent: 16 April 2004 16:18 To: surfacehippy Subject: Re: new to hippy It doesnt really show up on an X-ray until the late stages and the hip has started to collapse. It is generally discovered through an MRI. I have it and received a resurfacing as treatment for it. In my experience, I started feeling pain in my hips. The pain was not constant, but would fluctate. Eventually, I was diagnosed through an MRI. At that time, my x-rays showed nothing. However, it did progress and the collapse begain appearing on the x-rays after a few months. Usually, the disease progresses fairly quickly. Most people diagnosed progress to collapse within 18 months. > >Just started reading posts.
