Brief Answer:
Waddle gait see orthopedic surgeon

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM

I see from your question that you are having problems with gait. You call it a waddling gait. This type of gait is seen with advanced form of arthritis of the hips. To correct this gait you may need to have hip replacements. Today's hip replacements are very good and recovery times are minimal. I recommend that you see an orthopedic surgeon to help fix your problem
