Re: arthritis in hip from limping? thx kent

[Guest guest]

Thanks Kent. A gait analysis? A professional gait lab? I've never

heard of such a thing! Interesting. I feel that my spina bifida is

effecting me now, as a thirty year old, way more than it ever did as

a child. My limp is bad now, and was never even noticed by others in

grade and high school that I even had SB/TCS. Yes, a doc with SB/TSC

would be great! Thanks for your help. Amy
