Anyone else think spica cast was traumatic?
I was diagnosed with dysplasia at 14 months after I started walking and was in the cast for about 6 months and then had braces for a period of time after that. My hip was mostly fine until my late 30’s when I started having significant hip pain. I had L hip resurfacing surgery in 2008 (doing great) and R hip replacement in 2023 (also great). I’ve been doing therapy for other issues unrelated to my hip problems as a baby, or so I thought. It’s looking like I have some trauma around the experience of being in the cast despite being told my whole life that I was “just fine”. Can anyone else relate? I feel alone in this being part of my trauma (I know of other trauma that I have memories of but I don’t have any memory of the cast. Just stories and photos).
