hi! i‘m 32F and found out 2 years ago that i have bilateral hip dysplasia. after trying to manage pain with PT the last 2 years, i finally requested an mri and ct scan to see if im a good candidate for a PAO surgery. just received disappointing news that due to the amount of arthritis, the surgeon does not recommend the surgery. has anyone else received similar news? what are you doing to manage the pain and what is keeping you going? i grew up very active and truly saddened by this. i want to stay active and mobile for as long as possible.

any tips would be greatly appreciated.
