About this listen
In this episode we talk to Rob, an IT director of a company in London.
Rob was diagnosed with Perthes Disease at the age of 14. He had experienced pains in previous years but it was always dismissed as 'growing pains', until the day he thought he walked into a hole. Only to discover that there was no hole and that sensation he experienced was due to his hip slipping.
He was later diagnosed with a deformed hip due to Perthes Disease. Doctors told him that there was nothing they were able to do as he had to wait for a hip replacement.
Rob had to wait several years, going through a lot of pain until the day they agreed to perform the hip replacement. That day changed his life forever and he now runs Marathons!
