Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi Sherri, The explanation given to me by three orthopedic doctors is congential hip dysplasis. My acetabulums (part of the pelvis) were too small for the head of the femur to articulate properly. This made a lot of sense to me because my hips have hurt for as long as I can remember, I never could sit with my legs crossed (Indian style). I have an exagerrated lumbar curve so I wasn't able to pose properly for ballet positions. I now compensate so much that my butt sticks out considerably. Food for thought hope this helps. It sure helped me to know that no matter what I did I would have the same current problem. Pamela J. (soon-to-be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
