osteoarthritis hip dysplasia

I had an X-ray of my hip Monday this week, and when I saw the consultant in charge, the hip seemed ok but told me that it had mild dysplasia. He also noted that the joints in my hip were very hyperflexible. For around 2 months I've had a lot of pain in my hip, sometimes crampy and sometimes really sharp, and it hurts even more with my periods. I'm at my wit's end trying to know what it is, and what I can do about it, as I've had it for so long. Thanks.

i have had a couple friends tell me that it looks like he has hip dysplasia, but i cant afford to take him to the vet to get him checked out. i have looked up hip dysplasia online and it says it genetic but his father is in great shape, as far as i know his mother was also in great shape. his brother as well has no problems. he has taken after our female dog in size, slender but muscular, but has a big head.

You probably have the onset of osteoarthritis which usually is first noticed in the hip, especially when lying on it in bed.

Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM are good supplements for maintaining joint health, but they are not curative substances. Your dog could be suffering anything from simple arthritis; to hip dysplasia; to a pulled muscle, tendon or ligament; to a ruptured spinal disc; a tumor or cyst in a bad place; or any number of other issues. She's obviously in pain, so get her to the vet as soon as possible.

I went to Shriners hospital when I was 13ish, and one of the doctors there told me that I could need hip replacements by the age of 35. I didnt want to believe him, but now I starting to realize why he said that. I also have noticed reoccurring pains in alot of my joints along with stiffness and muscle spasms. I also have weird bone growths, on my ankle, heel, toe joints, finger joints, Im too young for all this. My sed rate always comes back normal.

You need to make an appointment with your vet to have him examined for hip dysplasia and/or a luxating patella. People are sometimes under the misapprehension that only large dogs like German Shepherds get hip dysplasia, while in reality it is possible for ANY breed to have it, no matter how big or small. Small and toy breeds, however, are also prone to something called a luxating patella, the patella being the knee. Its human equivalent would be called a "trick knee".

Of course I assume the worst (like I always do) and I think he has hip dysplasia. I feel so bad for him because he is in pain. He went all day yesterday and seemed fine it's just at night that it bothers him. What can I do for him? My husband thinks we should wait a few days to see if it heals, he thinks (or is hoping) that he just pulled a muscle. These vet bills are killer but I don't want my boy to be in pain. Is there anything I can do to help him?

I have a 9 year old yellow Lab, who already had confirmed hip dysplasia at age 4.5 when I adopted him. For the last two years, he has been on Rimadyl 2x per day and seems to have been doing fine with his arthritis. However, in the last 2-3 weeks, his left back leg suddenly began to cause him problems--he will hop or lose strength in it occasionally.

Since high school, after running track for 4 yrs, (7 yrs ago) I hav had knee pain. In the last couple of years it has gotten worse, radiating to my hip. It happens when I've been standing or walking too long, or if I'm cold. Could this be a trauma induced osteoarthritis?

I have a pit bull with hip dysplasia who has been on rimadyl. During the winter time he seems to be in more pain than usual. Should I also be giving him tramadol? What exactly is the difference between the two medications?

Hip dysplasia my black lab had the same thing it will start causing lots of pain in the next 2 years or so if you don't take him to the vet. My black lab died from this we had to put her down. It got to the point where she could not move, but that was after about 4 years of having Hip dysplasia.

Hi I have a 6 year old Pit Bull he was diagnosed with mid line hip dysplasia and knee arthritis and the veterinarian prescribed him the generic for Rimadyl which is Carproxen. Now he has been taking this medecine for about 3 months. The veterinarian told me that before he refills another bottle of Carproxen my dog Bowzer will need to have a liver blood test done to make sure his liver is not being affected because this medecine can have a negative reaction in some dogs.

Dull pain along with sharp pain depending on how I move. Pain in inner groin/hip area. Hip occasionally locks up on me when I stand up from a sitting position. I just finally recieved the results from the MRI with Contrast a year after the initial injury.

Here is the report: Indication: R hip pain, question labral tear.

What Are other reasons for this condition if not hip dysplasia?

In your case, as it is already diagnosed as osteoarthritis, there is a possibility of increased inflammation in the hip joint, that could happen due to stress, infection etc. Osteoarthritis of hip is a common degenerative hip joint disorder that tends to affect older people. The main symptom is pain in the buttocks, thigh and calf. Treatment involves rest and antinflammatory drugs until pain subsides. Also antibiotics and hormone terapy can be implicated depending upon the severity.

Then shortly afterwards he started to walk funny, and I got on the computer and all symptoms pointed to hip dysplasia. He has good days and bad days, and does good considering his age. Had him since he was a pup. Anyway, was wondering why that place took so long to heal ? Also. with the odd walking shortly happening after that strange sore, could they be related, or is it common hip dysplasia? I give him vitamins. I have one more question.
