I had Perthes as a child. Spent 2+ years in a cast on both legs with a board between my ankles. Used wheelchairs, crutches. Had to learn to walk again. But now I walk fine & was able to play sports in my teens. To Oisin & his family, just know things will get better.https://twitter.com/Independent_ie/status/1386613599855067142 …

Lillian Moore had a gut feeling things weren’t right when son Oisín developed a persistent limp. They eventually received a diagnosis of Perthes’ disease, a rare childhood disorder that affects the hip. Now she wants to raise awareness to help others. https://www.independent.ie/life/health-wellbeing/if-you-have-a-child-between-four-and-eight-with-an-unexplained-limp-or-a-limp-with-no-pain-go-see-your-gp-40349283.html …
