#hip deformity

[dashing-hyphen]

Found a good representation of one of my biggest issues: femoral retroversion. I tell people my femurs are backwards, because they are:

Shit is Rotated!

[this-is-deformimisia]

my whole body is a bit wonky (uneven hips and ribcage, winged scapula, weird as hell posture) since I had a 70° curve in my spine but the most obvious effect is my winged scapula. I've had people ask me what the hell is wrong with my shoulder :(

It used to really bother me but not anymore because there's 0 reason I should care how they see me

This is deformimisia.

I would probably have way less diagnoses if the doctors had explained to my parents and properly documented things when I was a baby.

Like, I have some unspecified hip condition, I was born with it. That's all my mom knows. I figure it's bilateral, and that might be why my gait is weird and gods know how many of the other problems I have with my legs, like how one's longer than the other. The TBI I got as a baby was, according to my mom, complicated. All the doctor really bothered with was saying I'd be fine, he didn't tell her a lot of details. Again, gods know how many of my things that could have caused. There was whatever happened when I was five, when a severe allergic reaction (to something I had only been slightly allergic to before and have only been slightly allergic to after) and asthma we hadn't known I had put me in the PICU for days and the hospital for two weeks, then a nebulizer for months and an inhaler for year but never an Epi Pen, which I have questions about now. Apparently I also have something up with my heart.

And we don't have any of this information because the doctors weren't explaining it.
