Going to request my hip x-rays from the UK and get my GP here to send me for some new images. It's hurting too much to ignore and I'm really nervous about its condition.

I don't want a replacement yet, if at all.

Eight centimetres sounds enormous for a hole in my femur.

I am really scared.

@Archantael *hugs*

Is it something you've had for some time? I hope it's something you can recover from.

@newdarkcloud I've had it since I was seven, at least, but I smashed it once already. It's been really painful again, to the point of making me feel sick. They couldn't find any fractures but I'm just... if it does break, my only option is a total replacement.

@Archantael Damn. That's pretty heavy.

You're a good person and I'm sorry you've been going through that for so long. I hope for the best.

@newdarkcloud Thank you, I do too. I had been complacent over it for a long time and ignored it's presencd. Stands to reason it would come back eventually. I'll do what I can to keep safe and healthy and hope the orthopedic consultants will have some options to talk about.

@Archantael I know what you mean about getting complacent. I just went back to my eye doctor for the first time in 7 years.

And I only went back because I needed new glasses.

I also got my first physical this year. Honestly, I've been neglecting my doctor appointments for far too long.
