i had septic authorities in my hip when i was 2. im now 18 now and everytime i walk long distances it hurts again do you no why?

Question

Answer 1

Osteoarthritis: The septic arthritis may have damaged your hip and you may now have early degenerative or osteoarthritis. Get an x-ray and if needed an MRI scan.

Answer 2

Possibly: Nothing protects against fractures better than avoiding the falls in the first place but hip pads can be helpful for someone who chronically falls. Using a walker, removing throw rugs, lighting poorly lit areas, balance training, and muscle strengthening with weight bearing exercise and proper nutrition are all parts of the prevention program.

Answer 3

Depends on hormones : I think that would depend on the type of hormone you are talking about and the scan you had. If you didnt get instructions then check with your doctor first. Did you have a thyroid scan? Was it a bone scan or a density scan?

Answer 4

Not necessarily : It depends on the health of your grandmother and the type of fracture that she sustained. Some can be repaired simply and others require a more invasive procedure. If the risk is great because she has poor health they may hold on surgery. If she is a healthy 87 yo then they would operate. My 105 yo grandmother had hers repaired at age 85. She was active till 105. Hope she is ok.

Answer 5

Maybe, maybe not...: Osteoporosis means one's bones are porous. Elderly women rarely fall and break their hip. Usually, their hip breaks - due to osteoporesis - and they fall. That doesn't make her too old to have an operation to repair the broken hip, but her overall health must be considered first. If she is a smoker with copd, her lungs may not be able to stand an operation.

Answer 6

Check with the doc: Many blood pressure medications take longer than a week to have their full effect. Check with your doctor as you may need a higher dose or another medication. Hbp is damaging over the long term most of the time and not over a few days so check with your doctor.

Answer 7

Urine metabolite WU.: You seem to have a high blood pressure for no other issues. This might be a catecholamine producing lesion in your body called a pheochromocytoma. This does have other symptoms, like sweating, headaches, palpitations, and weight loss, but the biggest thing is pronounced hypertension. It might also mean the BP meds need more time. Get a urine catecholamine metabolite 24 hour collection to see.

Answer 8

DEPENDS ON : How many calories a day you are consuming.
