Clicky Hips

[Daisydot]

My DD was born with dislocatable hips due to a breech birth.

It was thought that she might need to go into a brace, but her hips seemed to normalise by the time she was a few months old.

She's now two and several times a day I can hear her hips clicking. When I ask her if they hurt she says they don't.

She is brilliant at running and jumping and dashing around all over the place. She doesn't have a limp or any other tell tale sighs, just these awful clicks.

Has anyone else out there experienced similar.

Thanks.

Daisydot.

Hi Daisydot,

Yes i had clicky hips at birth, my hips still click from time to time (im 32 btw) it doesnt hurt atall just feels abit weird.

Thanks for getting back to me.

We have been referred onto a consultant to get his views on the situation.

I'm dreading him suggesting an operation.

It's good to hear of someone else out there with the same problem. Thanks very much for putting my mind at rest a little more.

daisy, why wasnt ur LO put into a brace as soon as they realised she had clicky hips? my dd was diagnosed with clicky hip as soon as she was born, it all moved very fast from there, the next day she had a scan and was booked in with the consultant to be fitted for a harness, she was init till she was 3 months old, how dislocated where your LO's hips? sorry to be nosey, am just curious nosey cow emoticon
