Hip Issues - General Discussion Thread

So, here’s the deal...
First off, thanks to everyone who’s actually taking the time to read this thread..
Lately, I’ve been dealing with this weird pain in my lower back, and when I walk, my right leg kind of rotates inward—it feels totally off. My knee and everything else just feels... strange? I went to the clinic, and they told me my right hip is sitting further out than my left. So, I went to see my regular doctor, and he gave me a referral for an orthopedist. We did some imaging on my hips, and it turns out I was born with hip dysplasia—basically, my hip socket isn't fully developed, so it only partially covers the bone instead of the whole thing. My doctor suggested I should really get into swimming, but since we don't have any indoor pools around here in our County, I’m feeling a bit stuck. He mentioned that if I had caught this earlier, there might have been more treatment options, but now... I don't know. I'm not supposed to gain weight or lift anything heavy. Honestly, I got a little spooked because he said if I were to gain a lot of weight during pregnancy (like, 15–16 lbs), it could be dangerous for my hip. Does anyone know if there are specific exercises or something similar that could help correct this even just a little bit? Maybe it's too late since I'm already 15..
