Hi, I have a condition called spondyloepyhsialdysplasia, which for me meant that my hips didn't form properly as a youngster and caused severe arthritis. I've now had 4 hip replacements. I am also a carer for my wife who has Stenosis of the spine, and my children. One has psoriatic arthritis and crohns and the other has chronic fatigue and a deformity in her hips.
