Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 , I was diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia seven years before I was diagnosed with MS. The Dysplasia caused my femur to be 70% out of the socket. All my hip parts were in good condition just not installed properly. So the Ortho surgeon performed a surgery that involved breaking my pelvis open and putting all the parts in the right place. The surgery was 6 hours and 9 months of PT before it was all said and done. I tell the group this because I think this intense surgery triggered my MS to a new level. My neuro doc thinks I started with a low level of MS which went undiagnosed for 20 yrs. before this surgery. Then he thinks perhaps I had a major exacerbation after the hip treatment was complete and that my MS spiraled to a more advanced level. Morale of the story "The effects of surgery hip or otherwise might make your MS more prevalent". Something to seriously consider...perhaps there is a more serious risk for MSer's..
