A member asked:

With perthes disease what should you do if you are 19 yrs old and suffer from it. is there any medication or type of food to help with the process?

X ray: Depends on the shape of the hip. At 19 you are done remodeling, and the shape of the hip is what it is. The more spherical it is the less problems you are likely to have and the more chance that exercise and therapy will help.

Not much: It is very hard to answer you because we do not know how deformity happen the bone, if it is minor deformity the only thing to use medication for inflammation( motrin) stay fit weight is big factor in your case, wither you need any corrective surgery or not that depend on the symptoms you have. Good luck.
