I have osteoarthritis in my hips. I had Legg's Perthes when I was a child, and here lately, it's really been hurting if I stand too long or walk too much. If I go to Sea World or Busch Gardens, I have to rent one of the motorized chair scooters to get around the park, because I can't walk that amount of distance or time. Of course, I get dirty looks from people because they automatically think because I'm young, I'm being lazy, but oh well.
It gets really bad really quick. I was at a car show, got there about 7:30am, and left around 2. By the time I left, I could barely walk, but I had to push myself to make it to my car. Then when I got home, I almost didn't make it up the stairs. I know that I'll have to have that hip replaced, which is weird, because I always thought it would be my right hip, not the left!!!!!
