Can a 14 year old dancer get hip Osteoarthritis?


im 14 and i have danced for 12 years now. lately its been hard for me to walk with out pain pills. it seems to hurt where my leg connects with my hip socket mostly when i walk but its still sore when i sit. so i have been doing reseach and it sounds like a have hip Osteoarthritis. i was just wondering if a 14 year old could get that? and if you have any other things it could be, that would really help me out. thanks

Definitely a possibility. You might want to tell your mom to bring you to a pain management doctors office. They can probably help you with that. We have patients as young as 10 years old here at my work. If you've been putting stress on one part of your body long enough, something is going to happen to that area (and will effect the rest of your body in the long run). A pain doc could help. Catch it now while you're young.

Yes, you can get Osteoarthritis at a young age.
One of my daughters' best friends had it at 15 and she was not a dancer.
