I had hip dysplasia when I was a baby and I had to wear a pavlik brace and the problem was fixed. I m 13 now. Lately, I ve notice that when I stretch or try to do the splits (I do color guard), my hips seem like they won t bend and they have been bothering me occasionally. I have no trouble walking or doing normal things. Is this normal? Should I go to the doctor?
Hip dysplasia can cause some problems in hip movements. It can be due to tight hip adductor muscles, and it is normal. If there is no problem in walking then it is ok. If there is difficulty in walking or running then you can consult bone doctor. You may need to get x-ray. If you want then you can share your x-rays with me. Then I will be able to comment if you need any surgery or not.  I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions, thanks
