Can Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis On One Side Cause Pain On Other Side After 2 Years?
Hi Doctor, I had slipped capital femoral emphasis on my left side 2 years ago and had surgery to repair it. Recently, I ve felt pain on my right side. If I m standing for 10-15 minutes, the pain starts to appear. Should I go back to my orthopedic surgeon for help

Hi
Thanks for writing your query.
It is not uncommon to have slipped capital epiphysis on the other side if you had it on one side. Some surgeon does the prophylactic pinning (surgery) on the normal side also.
My advice would be going back to your Orthopaedic surgeon for final diagnosis at the earliest.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
