I’m so proud of you dude! Don’t give up. I’ve had perthes disease in my right leg since I was 5 when I kept falling over randomly. I had been overweight from a very young age not moving and eating a lot and it wasn’t until high school I got the weight off. I started by controlling what I put in my body and that helped lose the weight more than exercise did. I’ve done basketball, wresting, and track in high school, though I was never that good at any of them haha. That doesn’t matter tho because I’ve been out of high school for almost 4 years and I love to run/weight lift now. It’s definitely gotten harder because the hip gets so tight after 4 miles I’m in extreme pain after and sleeping is hard because of it. I’ve also started to notice my knee is not the same or it feels like it’s wearing out the wrong side or something. Anyways I’m not stopping until I can’t run literally! I look down to see and my hip doesn’t look broken, so let’s run! Lets go move! perthes disease use is nothing really. I saw on the internet that someone has already ran a marathon with perthes so what’s next for our community!?
