A quad developes new bone and broken bones heal faster than "normal" people. I'm post sci 42 years, have had both hip joints removed (girdlestone) due to calcification and one hip fusing, the other popping out. Glenn Henry

I said not to my knowledge and they just said --Hmm They look out of line or sort of dislocated on the Screen. Then Simply sent me to the recovery room and we just forgot about it......But like you , I have occassional popping in my hips and also sometimes in my knee's. At least so far no swelling or unusual looking signs to the naked eye. Dan H. gina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I was asked yesterday if I ever dislocated my hip. I told them not that I knew, but my hip does pop sometimes, so we continued talking about it and they told me that I have a dislocated hip but its not bad yet, but I could never use a standing thingy, because if I did it would dislocate it. I wasn't planning on using one anyway, but I was glad that they told me. I was just wondering if anyone else has been told that their hip was dislocated or that their muscles or ligaments wasn't holding their hip in anymore and what can you do about it?
