I was beyond disregarded by a black dr and a yt one. This systemic mentality caused me to have a rough childbirth and recovery. I was forced to wait 12 yrs to have a kid due to health and money only for my miracle baby deliver meeting to be rough and to have to have 4 blood pts of blood (think that’s the correct measurement), all my veins collapsed and over 17 IVs. This was at a top hospital in the DMV❤❤❤❤
My daughter was just diagnosed with hip dyplasia a few weeks ago. I'm praying for a recovery for both of our children. She's currently wearing a hip brace at night and doing physical therapy. It typically happens when the child is in the uterus if they are breached or if the doctor pulls on their hips while they are coming out.
Don’t feel too bad - sometimes it develops later or is too mild to detect at the newborn exam. In my country they check the hips several times over the first 18 months of life trying to pick up all of them early. I know a lady who passed ALL of those checks and did not have pain or symptoms until puberty. She is having to have this surgery as an adult, on both hips.
I know similarly to how you feel. Growing up I constantly told my ENT doctor I was having headaches, it was over 5 years later that he actually one day just “checked” and I ended up having a big surgery that I had so much going on internally he had to call for more medication mid surgery. I just focus on God. I THANK God that I was able to have the surgery and get the extra medication. It can be difficult to grab one with the thought why not early like for your situation since birth did they not pick this up but in gratitude we are in the grace of God. He will work everything out for your daughter in the best way, in the name of Jesus. May she get the safest and quickest, painless recovery methods to fix the problem. I will be praying for you all.
We had a similar experience with the doctor. They had measured my son's height and miscalculated, saying that he wasn't growing properly, and he needed growth hormones. When I left the Doctors office immediately went home & measured him. They had made a big mistake in his measurement. I called them, and they had him come back in to re-measure him , and re-record the information on his chart. We wound up finding a new doctor after that. I guess that the moral of the story is to advocate for yourself & your children, and you can always get a second opinion. As far as treatment at home goes, I would start having her stretch and do gentle strengthening exercises for both the injured knee & the other side as well. I hope that she gets better soon 🙏
When my daughter was born they weighed her and said she was 8 pounds 5 ounces. My doctor was like 84 and VERY experienced at the time and was surprised she wasn’t around 9 pounds. 6 or 8 hours later they weigh her again and she’s 8 pounds 16 ounces and the nurses are aggressively questioning me about how she has gained so much weight. I was shocked and obviously had no idea what to say….first baby and all. So then they start grilling us about what kind of scale they used when she was first born. How am I supposed to know?! They figured out that the first scale hadn’t been calibrated correctly. They were so rude and acted like they could never ever make a mistake.
You never know if these people know how to read a measuring tape; they all relie on these electronic devices, and they feel no reason to learn the basics for this, which is sad; and yes, please get a second opinion. It appears that they were really rushing you.
Awe! Poor baby! 😮❤ I have a daughter that age. Same type of thing at dentist…went in for a cleaning & what I thought was a cavity turned into major surgery 😢 It’s fine now but it is scary when it’s your kid!
My granddaughter had this as a baby. My daughter noticed, what felt like a ball the size about a nickle or dime. Took to her pediatrician, and what my daughter was feeling was her hip out of place. She immediately was treated for it. They had to put the body cast on her. She had to wear it for quite a while that I remember. When it was finally time for her not to wear it anymore, she was and still is to this day completely fine. They did say that if she did not get the cast, she would have complications with being able to walk. Thank God my daughter caught it. I think that maybe for some kids it may not be pronouced until the child is older and starts complaining. That is my opinion. My granddaughter is 18 now.
Sending prayers up for you and the girls. I hope there’s a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinion and she doesn’t need surgery. Thanks for sharing the basketball clips, I loved those days! 🥰
Hi Akeeba, I'm so sorry for the news about your sweet daughter. Please, as has been suggested above, get more opinions from specialists. Also, research doctors who have at least performed and/or worked on 500-600 surgeries of this nature. Try to keep your chin up, stay mildly active and exercise. Walking is a wonderful stress relaxer and PRAY much. God is certainly able to guide you in your decision and which doctor to choose. You and your children are so precious. As an Educator, you've done well. May our Father God continue to Bless you and your family. ❤
I was 23 when I was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. At the time I was in the military. They wanted to do surgery as well but one doc told me that they wasn’t sure if the surgery would be beneficial simple because a surgical like this will require more surgery down the line. I was medically discharged and now 33 this year and still dealing with the pain. Why didn’t they catch this at birth was my question as well. But she’s young if that is her diagnosis there’s many other ways to cope with it instead of surgery. Aqua therapy is good as well since it doesn’t put a lot of strain on the body. She’s going to be ok and always get second opinions because these doctors will be quick to push surgery
The majority of doctors don’t pay attention to a child’s gait. These are small changes that you as a parent can notice and bring up to a doctor for further evaluation.
You have a beautiful spirit sis! Praying for the Lord to lead you to the best orthopedic doctor for your daughter. Will look forward to hearing the good news soon.
Your daughters are so cute they both had a good game. I hope when you guys go to California you can find out some good news but it's good that you're taking her there to get everything checked out and to know if she really does need this surgery just saying.❤❤🙏🏽🦋💕
At age 9 my daughter's pediatrician said she was having growing pains. Years later she was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalga . Many years of pain, and living in an area that doesn't " believe" that fibromyalga exist, has had disastrous consequences. Sending Prayers 🙏🏽 ❤ 🙏🏽
Fibro is a word to just diagnose and treat, not cure. Most of the times widespread pain that they cant seem to figure out where it's coming from is diagnosed as Fibro. Most widespread P is a connective tissue disorder. Things like Myofascial release/ Connective Tissue massage/Float Therapy/ Infrared Sauna are all things that can naturally help heal and reduce Pain and Stress from "Fibro". Hope that helps.
Hi. I’ve been watching you and your sis since 2010 and I don’t comment too much. I had the same thing as Amasha. I grew too fast It became child hood arthritis. It’s nothing huge but is painful. I know treatments have change since I was a kid in the 90’s but definitely look into that ❤
Akeeba, sorry your daughter is going through the hip issue. I pray the issue will be healed by the Holy Spirit. Everything will be alright. Keep praying, believing, having faith & loving all. I will pray as well. Stay in love & light. ❤love❤
It's really good that you did your research and continue to do so but at the same time, you can't confirm how serious this is nor whether she should pursue outdoor activities at this time. I'd say as a recommendation, give her a break until you have it confirmed and receive further instructions from the specialist/doctor.
Thank God You took her to the doctor, and I’m sorry that the doctors didn’t do anything in the beginning. Prayers for her surgery, and recovery. Thanks for sharing Akeeba!!
I wish her daughter a full recovery. The mom seems very skeptical about everything medical. When she talks about her experiences she does not talk well about medical professionals. I hope her skepticism does not hinder her daughter's needed surgery. With hip dysplasia, the hip socket doesn't cover the ball portion of the thighbone completely allowing partial or complete dislocation. If not caught at birth later it can cause things such as pain, osteoarthritis, and joint instability.
Sorry to hear this news but I would advise to get a 2nd and 3rd opinion before moving to any drastic decisions. And God is with you guys. I pray that she will be ok.
My daughter when she was 9yo (now 44yo) had a slipped capital bone on both hips...she had surgery on both hips to put a pin in each hip.Then after a year or so, had to have the pins taken out once the hip/leg grew correctly. The professor (seen in PBS) Henry Louis Gates had the same condition but did NOT have that corrected (per the doctor back then). Now one leg is about 2 inches shorter than the other. That area where the leg bone is attached to the hip bone is where the leg grows. SO, please maybe get a second opinion...it may be serious.
Something does look slightly off with her walk and I didn’t notice until you said it, but I’m also not a doctor. I think there’s nothing wrong with trusting the pediatrician you’ve been with for years or getting a second opinion. I’m sure you wouldn’t want an unnecessary surgery, but you also don’t want to wait if she needs it. You’ll do what’s best for your daughter regardless🙂
I'm 22 with hip dysplasia and I can say I'd get the surgery young. I haven't had the surgery and have some problems but can live a normal life but still I recommend that she get it sorted young. Knee pain I get often so I understand her.
Wow. Family genes are strong. The girls' cousins look like them soo much. I thought the girl with the beautiful natty locs was the big sis at a glance. Then I thought maybe a sister. 😊
I don't think that it was an insensitive thing for the doctor to ask if she was born in this country as it was medically relevant. Home births are generally discouraged by the mainstream medical community and I agree. Why have a home birth if you have the resources of a hospital with top medical professionals and top medical equipment?
@@AkeebaMaze It's better to have the facilities and equipment of a hospital around in case of emergency complications that might occur that would require the skills of a doctor rather than that of a midwife.
Everyone…please please trust in pediatric care. The medical profession has taken great strides and care in ensuring that all interventions are safe for children. I was cared for during my childhood and it was 40 years ago…my child was cared for when she was 8 and she is 20 and thriving. Babies and children can’t wait. They are growing constantly. In pediatric care…the child has a voice in their care. Because they deserve to know.
Physical therapy and strengthening muscles around the weak areas can help. By looking at her, it looks like it's her right hip that is weaker, but what do I know. I think surgeries are too risky and there are probably braces she can wear even now at night that might help with resetting those bones. Praying for you and your girls!
If that doctor has been their pediatrician since they were born, did your doctor drop the ball then? I beg of you to get 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinion, get multiple specialist’s opinion. Doctors almost killed me when I was your daughter’s age because they couldn’t figure out I had pneumonia.
Hi mama I had typical issues like this when I was younger . I have hypermobility and ehlers danlos syndrome my hip dislocated and I needed to go to physical therapy to fix that. Idk if the little ones are very hypermobile but can they suggest pediatric pt?
My daughter who is now 43 years of age and she had the same condition as well as intoeing which is extreme pigeon toe. She had the hip dysplasia as well. I noticed it after she started walking and she would fall when running. I thought that was abnormal so I took her to her doctor who referred me to an orthopedic doctor. The doctor recommended her wearing special shoes that caused her feet to not toe inward actually they look like she had her shoes on the wrong foot😂😂😂. Which everyone was quick to point out. She also had a bar attached to the bottom of her shoes that she had to sleep in at night to cause her hip to grow properly. It seemed like torture for her to sleep in but I had seen the results of people growing up without getting this condition corrected. Unfortunately most doctors miss this condition because you must pay attention to the child’s gait as they grow and walk. I’m a nurse and paid close attention to my daughter growth and development and pick this up quickly. As well I noticed my nephew had the same condition and I told my sister who confirmed it with his doctor. Most of the time it can result from the child position in the womb in the fetal position. It’s quite common and easily corrected if caught in time. Meaning as their bones are still growing and developing. The bones are easily manipulated. I also had a niece whose mom didn’t correct hers and she’s 6months older than my daughter and she’s recently had to have hip and knee replacement surgery because of the uneven weight distribution to her body. This could have been simply avoided had it been corrected at a young age. I’m really sorry your daughter has to go through this now but it will also prevent her from having issues as she matures.
No health insurance, VBAC at home (highly risky,) attitude towards medical professionals once a newborn is brought in for observation, medical professionals who know why VBACs are not advised, now nurses are being blamed. When do we introspect 😢?
Only commenting because you’re raising Zulu girls and I’m Zulu. If you know Zulu culture you’ll know that humility will get you far in life; you can’t walk around thinking you know everything.
My son showed that sign when he was walking . He was just in gr 8. His leg bone was growing out of the hip socket. Thr doctor had to put a pin in the hip. Do your research and gèt second opinion
This condition normally or mostly happens when the doctors turn the babies to pull them out. The doctors will turn them the wrong way or to hard….also when she was born they may have noticed it, but was told not to report it especially because you had a home birth and who ever delivered her whether it was a doctor or midwife at home wanted to keep a certifications to do home deliveries I pray that all goes well❤🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
They should if seen it when she was a baby. The nurse was right, I think she was worried and wanted to get as much info so she could get you in fast. Anyways what a horrible news to hear on the phone.
Get a copy of her x-rays and the medical notes. Review them and compare them to others online. Do your research and prepare questions for your doctors visit.
Google says physical therapy may be an option. Maybe asked the sources that do say it’s a good option their opinion for her case whether it’s mild -severe. If surgery will give her further problems, you may want to take the time to look into it further and rule it out before making that choice so there are no regrets.
Sounds like she needs to see a chiropractor for a second opinion. Children definitely benefit greatly from Chiropractic care. It's definitely underrated and misunderstood. It's great especially if there is some physical trauma during or after birth (the trauma on the body from being pushed out). Blessings to you and your family. I hope she gets better and doesn't need surgery. Listen to your gut, Mama! Love you. ❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
They don’t go the medical school. No MCATs. A tool for aid in treatment not Dx. Not trained in the same way. Especially regarding children and how they develop.
I think the doc was sensitive and just asked for more information. Get past the why this wasn't caught when younger, just look at what's happening now. With kids, it's always something. I think if you dont do anything, then she will have asymmetric growth. Maybe get a second opinion. If my child has been hurting for days,weeks, or months. I would respect the opinion of the doctor and keep her off activities until things can be figured out. It's only temporary to keep her out. I hope she gets to feeling better. Sounds like you aren't a fan of doctors' opinions. I think they are trying to help you. Dr. Google doesn't practice real medicine. You will have to look at current research and those citations to really get a good understanding of treatment if you are trying to figure this out on your own. Good luck.
If it were me, I would get a second opinion. Do some searching to see who is the best pediatric orthopedist in your area. If there is a top-rated children's hospital within a reasonable distance from you maybe start there. If your insurance will cover it maybe you can go to Children's Hospital Los Angeles while you are in Cali.
Pray 🙏🏾😇🙏🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾💙💙👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾 put it all in God's hands Got got you and your girls good game girl keep striving 🫶🏾🫶🏾👸🏾👸🏾🏀🏀🥇🥇 you are still winners 🏆 have faith in God
Our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 💔😭 and our son was complaining of his right knee hurting we eventually made an appointment and the dr did not want to guess so X-ray the next day I was told he had a tumor on his knee at this point I fell to my knees 😭💔 the next 3 yrs was a nightmare…
I wonder if intense & skillful physical therapy for pelvic area can re align her hips …which would reduce any more joint deterioration 🤷♀️. Also does she have one leg longer than the other or any scoliosis in the spine contributing to the issue🤔. Keep doing your research! The concern that you HAVE to pay attention to is..her ball & socket joint !…. you don’t want her to need a hip replacement….they don’t give these surgeries at a young age or to many times in a lifetime
Sometime delay is God's way of keeping you and your little one out of harm's way🙏🙏🙏You NEVER know what would have happened with a hospital birth. Now may be the right time for her vs THEN....you know what I mean❤❤❤
Is their like tension shorts for children like the tension socks. Until you get a second opinion or further information to consider the options. All the best!
My son has something going on with his hip where it shifted. They did surgery quickly. The doctor advised him to eat more vegetables or the other hip can shift too. I forgot all the details now.
So sorry to hear about all of this and your experience with these so-called medical professionals. Please go to a specialist like an orthopedist or a sports medicine orthopedist that can give her an in-depth evaluation. Surgery is a last resort do not allow anyone to pressure you into that because it can cause more harm for your child as she grows older. Do not allow them to pressure you or make you feel bad because the pharmaceutical and medical industry thrives off of things like this it is a money game. Her bone is not sitting in the joint because of muscle weakness. She needs to have her vitamin levels and nutrient levels checked as well as a cell test to see why it is or what is causing the muscle weakness. The muscle weakness may be caused by a nutrient deficiency which can be easily corrected over time. She also needs strengthening of the muscles because the muscles and ligaments will hold the joint into place. These doctors make you feel like their methods are the only options in order for healing and that is absolutely not the case. She is also a thin petite child like how I was growing up as well as my niece who is almost 6 ft tall and plays basketball in high school. Children with these thinner frames and fast metabolism don't have a lot of muscle mass. She definitely needs some protein for kids Incorporated into her daily intake for muscle strength and joint stability. I recommend a postural restoration specialists... As well as an orthopedist but please keep in mind the specialists are going to offer you synthetic medications and also options such as surgeries that are harmful long-term for your child. Please protect your daughter and not fold under pressure nor allow them to make you feel bad because of what these medical professionals are telling you. There is a bias in the medical field and the hearts of many have grown cold. There is a lack of compassion and a lack of humanity because unfortunately they do not see certain people groups as human. So I am not surprised to hear that there was no care in giving you the news regarding your child nor the impact that the information would have on you or more importantly her because she is the one that would endure. Please don't allow anyone to get rich off of cutting up your child and making you believe that is the only way to healing it is not. Trust and believe I would not be here if I left it up to the doctors. The Lord directed my steps and That was my wakeup call to look into functional medicine and exercise. As well as nutrient and cell testing...Best thing I could've ever done. So sorry to hear about this... stay strong stay sweet stay beautiful you and your lovely children all the best. 🌼
Im so glad you did the research. Im finding the majority of surgeries are unnecessary, but lines many pockets. There is a guy on youtube who discusses minerals necessary for so many things. It may be called 89 minerals or something:-)
Hello precious angel, we have your case. We send you the Miracle of Hist Loust and Logic to help in every way that makes sense and absorb your energy to make a Sun.
So... if this is taken the wrong way I'd understand why. There are arguably faults on both sides if she has hip dysplasia of it not being detected. Home births while are beautiful and should be every women's choice of how they want to bring new life in the world while it gives you more control and hopefully more empowerment of being a women it also comes with not having immediate access to health professionals in the case of something more serious going wrong. But your daughters are beautiful and seem quite lovely. On the other hand whether or not you have a homebirth if that is something that she was born with, I googled it. It's a non invasive exam to test for it should've been detected. And the attitude about you doing a homebirth is unnecessary and unprofessional. But I feel like it's taught more than anything. Nonetheless I hope that you get another opinion for your daughter. And I hope everything gets sorted out with time.
Ladies, we have been known to not to be taken seriously by doctors. Please continue searching for a specialist until you find one that truly cares.
When I heard that I immediately wondered if she has a record of the newborn apgar score, from a most basic newborn assessment.
I was beyond disregarded by a black dr and a yt one. This systemic mentality caused me to have a rough childbirth and recovery. I was forced to wait 12 yrs to have a kid due to health and money only for my miracle baby deliver meeting to be rough and to have to have 4 blood pts of blood (think that’s the correct measurement), all my veins collapsed and over 17 IVs.

Get a SECOND OPINION. Preferably from a doctor, you totally TRUST😮...
Just saw your post, this is So true .

Indeed May The Heavenly Father send 144,000 of his most powerful angels to heal this child so she can continue to thrive and survive ❤
You're no doctor. Don't gamble on your child's health. God protect your precious girls.🕊️
Let’s not pretend like doctors don’t get things wrong.
Don’t feel too bad - sometimes it develops later or is too mild to detect at the newborn exam.

Growth hormones?! I bet a lot of parents fell for that and damaged their children for life. Good for you.

I’m sure you wouldn’t want an unnecessary surgery, but you also don’t want to wait if she needs it. You’ll do what’s best for your daughter regardless🙂
You are her Best Advocate, get a 2nd opinion.❤🙏🏾
Always get a second opinion &make sure you are comfortable with whatever treatment given good luck &bless you &your family
I'm 22 with hip dysplasia and I can say I'd get the surgery young. I haven't had the surgery and have some problems but can live a normal life but still I recommend that she get it sorted young. Knee pain I get often so I understand her.
Good job girls 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Praying 🙏
Wow. Family genes are strong. The girls' cousins look like them soo much. I thought the girl with the beautiful natty locs was the big sis at a glance. Then I thought maybe a sister. 😊
A couple X-rays will not hurt! Also don’t get offended. She was just trying to help.
I don't think that it was an insensitive thing for the doctor to ask if she was born in this country as it was medically relevant. Home births are generally discouraged by the mainstream medical community and I agree. Why have a home birth if you have the resources of a hospital with top medical professionals and top medical equipment?
That’s a good question, why would someone have a homebirth if hospitals are so perfect? I would start my research there!
Please do research on Black maternal health, and then try to understand why we are reluctant to trust hospitals.
@@AkeebaMaze It's better to have the facilities and equipment of a hospital around in case of emergency complications that might occur that would require the skills of a doctor rather than that of a midwife.
Everyone…please please trust in pediatric care. The medical profession has taken great strides and care in ensuring that all interventions are safe for children. I was cared for during my childhood and it was 40 years ago…my child was cared for when she was 8 and she is 20 and thriving. Babies and children can’t wait. They are growing constantly. In pediatric care…the child has a voice in their care. Because they deserve to know.
Physical therapy and strengthening muscles around the weak areas can help. By looking at her, it looks like it's her right hip that is weaker, but what do I know. I think surgeries are too risky and there are probably braces she can wear even now at night that might help with resetting those bones. Praying for you and your girls!
Wihing her the best❤
If that doctor has been their pediatrician since they were born, did your doctor drop the ball then? I beg of you to get 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinion, get multiple specialist’s opinion. Doctors almost killed me when I was your daughter’s age because they couldn’t figure out I had pneumonia.
Second opinions even third opinions are advisable. But watch her closely for pain cues. Prayers up
Definitely get a second opinion!! Hope all goes well❤
Hi mama I had typical issues like this when I was younger . I have hypermobility and ehlers danlos syndrome my hip dislocated and I needed to go to physical therapy to fix that. Idk if the little ones are very hypermobile but can they suggest pediatric pt?
My daughter who is now 43 years of age and she had the same condition as well as intoeing which is extreme pigeon toe. She had the hip dysplasia as well. I noticed it after she started walking and she would fall when running. I thought that was abnormal so I took her to her doctor who referred me to an orthopedic doctor. The doctor recommended her wearing special shoes that caused her feet to not toe inward actually they look like she had her shoes on the wrong foot😂😂😂. Which everyone was quick to point out. She also had a bar attached to the bottom of her shoes that she had to sleep in at night to cause her hip to grow properly. It seemed like torture for her to sleep in but I had seen the results of people growing up without getting this condition corrected. Unfortunately most doctors miss this condition because you must pay attention to the child’s gait as they grow and walk. I’m a nurse and paid close attention to my daughter growth and development and pick this up quickly. As well I noticed my nephew had the same condition and I told my sister who confirmed it with his doctor. Most of the time it can result from the child position in the womb in the fetal position. It’s quite common and easily corrected if caught in time. Meaning as their bones are still growing and developing. The bones are easily manipulated. I also had a niece whose mom didn’t correct hers and she’s 6months older than my daughter and she’s recently had to have hip and knee replacement surgery because of the uneven weight distribution to her body. This could have been simply avoided had it been corrected at a young age. I’m really sorry your daughter has to go through this now but it will also prevent her from having issues as she matures.
So you are going against professional medical orders to have no physical activity based on what your child wants?
Get well sweet pea
No health insurance, VBAC at home (highly risky,) attitude towards medical professionals once a newborn is brought in for observation, medical professionals who know why VBACs are not advised, now nurses are being blamed. When do we introspect 😢?
Only commenting because you’re raising Zulu girls and I’m Zulu. If you know Zulu culture you’ll know that humility will get you far in life; you can’t walk around thinking you know everything.
Thanks for sharing 💜💜💜🙏🏾😊 15:48
I would say, be careful what you share online. Doctors can be vindictive.
I subscribed to give you 200k🎉🎉
Try Dr. Sponseller at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He saw my son and is great!❤
My son showed that sign when he was walking . He was just in gr 8. His leg bone was growing out of the hip socket. Thr doctor had to put a pin in the hip. Do your research and gèt second opinion
This condition normally or mostly happens when the doctors turn the babies to pull them out. The doctors will turn them the wrong way or to hard….also when she was born they may have noticed it, but was told not to report it especially because you had a home birth and who ever delivered her whether it was a doctor or midwife at home wanted to keep a certifications to do home deliveries
I pray that all goes well❤🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Take her to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital For Children . They are the best children’s orthopedic hospital in the United States!
Mom don’t say anything yet❤
They should if seen it when she was a baby. The nurse was right, I think she was worried and wanted to get as much info so she could get you in fast. Anyways what a horrible news to hear on the phone.
Hey akeeba praying that you and your daughter feels better soon
Get a copy of her x-rays and the medical notes. Review them and compare them to others online. Do your research and prepare questions for your doctors visit.
Google says physical therapy may be an option. Maybe asked the sources that do say it’s a good option their opinion for her case whether it’s mild -severe. If surgery will give her further problems, you may want to take the time to look into it further and rule it out before making that choice so there are no regrets.
Sounds like she needs to see a chiropractor for a second opinion. Children definitely benefit greatly from Chiropractic care. It's definitely underrated and misunderstood. It's great especially if there is some physical trauma during or after birth (the trauma on the body from being pushed out). Blessings to you and your family. I hope she gets better and doesn't need surgery. Listen to your gut, Mama! Love you. ❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are right, by son went to the chiro as a child for many years. He benefited from it greatly.
They don’t go the medical school. No MCATs.
A tool for aid in treatment not Dx.
Not trained in the same way. Especially regarding children and how they develop.
@@elizabethb1096agreed!
I think the doc was sensitive and just asked for more information.
Get past the why this wasn't caught when younger, just look at what's happening now.
With kids, it's always something.
I think if you dont do anything, then she will have asymmetric growth.
Maybe get a second opinion.
If my child has been hurting for days,weeks, or months. I would respect the opinion of the doctor and keep her off activities until things can be figured out. It's only temporary to keep her out. I hope she gets to feeling better.
Sounds like you aren't a fan of doctors' opinions. I think they are trying to help you. Dr. Google doesn't practice real medicine. You will have to look at current research and those citations to really get a good understanding of treatment if you are trying to figure this out on your own. Good luck.
I'm scared to watch. I pray all is ok.
If it were me, I would get a second opinion. Do some searching to see who is the best pediatric orthopedist in your area. If there is a top-rated children's hospital within a reasonable distance from you maybe start there. If your insurance will cover it maybe you can go to Children's Hospital Los Angeles while you are in Cali.

Body cast? Second and third opinion is a must.
Our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 💔😭 and our son was complaining of his right knee hurting we eventually made an appointment and the dr did not want to guess so X-ray the next day I was told he had a tumor on his knee at this point I fell to my knees 😭💔 the next 3 yrs was a nightmare…
What 😢lord be with you
I wonder if intense & skillful physical therapy for pelvic area can re align her hips …which would reduce any more joint deterioration 🤷♀️. Also does she have one leg longer than the other or any scoliosis in the spine contributing to the issue🤔. Keep doing your research! The concern that you HAVE to pay attention to is..her ball & socket joint !…. you don’t want her to need a hip replacement….they don’t give these surgeries at a young age or to many times in a lifetime
Sometime delay is God's way of keeping you and your little one out of harm's way🙏🙏🙏You NEVER know what would have happened with a hospital birth. Now may be the right time for her vs THEN....you know what I mean❤❤❤
Is their like tension shorts for children like the tension socks. Until you get a second opinion or further information to consider the options.
All the best!
🙏❤️
My son has something going on with his hip where it shifted. They did surgery quickly. The doctor advised him to eat more vegetables or the other hip can shift too. I forgot all the details now.
Pelvic floor exercises! especially starting young your body is meant to grow and build stronger all women should strengthen their pelvic muscles
🙏🏽😊

So sorry to hear about all of this and your experience with these so-called medical professionals.
Please go to a specialist like an orthopedist or a sports medicine orthopedist that can give her an in-depth evaluation. Surgery is a last resort do not allow anyone to pressure you into that because it can cause more harm for your child as she grows older.
Do not allow them to pressure you or make you feel bad because the pharmaceutical and medical industry thrives off of things like this it is a money game. Her bone is not sitting in the joint because of muscle weakness. She needs to have her vitamin levels and nutrient levels checked as well as a cell test to see why it is or what is causing the muscle weakness. The muscle weakness may be caused by a nutrient deficiency which can be easily corrected over time.
She also needs strengthening of the muscles because the muscles and ligaments will hold the joint into place.
These doctors make you feel like their methods are the only options in order for healing and that is absolutely not the case.
She is also a thin petite child like how I was growing up as well as my niece who is almost 6 ft tall and plays basketball in high school.
Children with these thinner frames and fast metabolism don't have a lot of muscle mass. She definitely needs some protein for kids Incorporated into her daily intake for muscle strength and joint stability.
I recommend a postural restoration specialists... As well as an orthopedist but please keep in mind the specialists are going to offer you synthetic medications and also options such as surgeries that are harmful long-term for your child.
Please protect your daughter and not fold under pressure nor allow them to make you feel bad because of what these medical professionals are telling you.
There is a bias in the medical field and the hearts of many have grown cold. There is a lack of compassion and a lack of humanity because unfortunately they do not see certain people groups as human. So I am not surprised to hear that there was no care in giving you the news regarding your child nor the impact that the information would have on you or more importantly her because she is the one that would endure.
Please don't allow anyone to get rich off of cutting up your child and making you believe that is the only way to healing it is not.
Trust and believe I would not be here if I left it up to the doctors. The Lord directed my steps and That was my wakeup call to look into functional medicine and exercise. As well as nutrient and cell testing...Best thing I could've ever done.
So sorry to hear about this... stay strong stay sweet stay beautiful you and your lovely children all the best. 🌼
❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
I pray she is healed Isaiah 53:5 in Jesus Name❤
❤❤
Im so glad you did the research. Im finding the majority of surgeries are unnecessary, but lines many pockets. There is a guy on youtube who discusses minerals necessary for so many things. It may be called 89 minerals or something:-)
Shouting “no “ when the other team scores is poor sportsmanship. 😢
It is a competition!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
Can a chiropractor help?
get a second opinion Keep in mind you can plan her recovery period and because she is young healing will be good. Don't worry
Hello precious angel, we have your case. We send you the Miracle of Hist Loust and Logic to help in every way that makes sense and absorb your energy to make a Sun.
So... if this is taken the wrong way I'd understand why. There are arguably faults on both sides if she has hip dysplasia of it not being detected. Home births while are beautiful and should be every women's choice of how they want to bring new life in the world while it gives you more control and hopefully more empowerment of being a women it also comes with not having immediate access to health professionals in the case of something more serious going wrong. But your daughters are beautiful and seem quite lovely. On the other hand whether or not you have a homebirth if that is something that she was born with, I googled it. It's a non invasive exam to test for it should've been detected. And the attitude about you doing a homebirth is unnecessary and unprofessional. But I feel like it's taught more than anything.
Nonetheless I hope that you get another opinion for your daughter. And I hope everything gets sorted out with time.
I know a friend where it got missed until they needed a hip replacement at 50. I think sometimes it can be missed. This person is white by the way.
