Blounts Disease - Kiralea In Pain Walking

This video shows Kiralea in a lot of pain with her legs from her Blounts Disease. The leg that drags is longer than the other. her feet turn in making walking difficult, she often falls heavily. The left leg was operated on when Kiralea was five, breaking the bone and reshaping it. That leg has two large pins in it now and you can see i the movie where Kiralea points to the scars from her surgery. The leg that was not operated on actually causes her the most pain from having to do the extra work.

Kiraleas legs, feet and hips are all turned wrong and she needs another five operations on her hips, knees and ankles to correct her body.

You shouldnt of had surgury so young. i am 13 and getting surgery done. altho my case isnt as severe from what ive been told they give you braces at ages younger than 10. if the braces dont work then they do surgery. what the surgery they do normaly before you start puperty is when they take a small peice of metal and screw it into your growth plate and shin to restrict growth on that one side making the growth process reverse itself. if left untreated then they would do what they have done here
