Pls , I Am 29 years old now and a Sickle Cell Patient too. When I was 19 years, my hip joint started to pain me and I attended to the hospital, they told me the hip is reducing so I have to wear crutches to walk and I did that for a year. However when I used the crutches for a year the pain reduced so I thought the problem was solved but a few years ago, my leg with that problem has started to waste in size and am still experiencing the pain. Pls what can I do to solve this?
