Patient's question:
Walking for a long time when you're young can cause pain, and I'm 32 now. Around the ages of 14 to 20, I would suddenly feel a cramp in the tendons of my bent knees in my sleep, and when it hurt, I couldn't move. In recent years, that kind of pain hasn't occurred. About four or five years ago, the pain was so severe that I couldn't walk with force, and my right leg would ache. Recently, the duration of the leg pain has increased, and it's been almost a month with no improvement. I'm already married with a child, and the child hasn't inherited any conditions. My parents' generation didn't have this medical history, and neither did my sister on my side. However, both of my aunts on my uncle's side have this condition—they both have unilaterally dislocated joints. Besides the leg issue, I also have lumbar osteophytes from four years ago. My immune system is generally quite good. When the pain becomes severe, I take pain relievers or apply pain-relieving patches. It's a lot of trouble, but I'd appreciate it if the doctor could take a look and give me a plan. I had an X-ray taken when I was a child.Doctor's answer:
The chances of successful surgery are very high. However, treatment still needs to be tailored to each individual's condition. Currently, this disease can only be treated through surgery. In Baicheng, you need to complete referral procedures at the local hospital. This means the local hospital must provide a written consent for you to come for surgery, so that you can be reimbursed after the surgery. It is recommended that you first visit a formal and professional hospital for a detailed understanding before transferring to another hospital. Generally, the fees at Grade III-A hospitals are more transparent.
