Can I refuse treatment for DD?

Look, I really don't know much about this. But I'm pretty sure the reason any sign of clicky hips is so closely monitored is because it can become a problem without parents noticing, especially once bubs is mobile. If it's detected early, the treatment can be very simple, if it's not detected early the treatment is pretty horrid (five months in a cast as a two year old). I have two friends in their mid thirties who are looking at hip replacements in the next five years due to undiagnosed clicky hips as babies.

Is there someone- like the specialist you saw, or your gp, who can give you a really good medical opinion on this? It can't be an easy desicion to make.

:yeahthat: - Lolli posted as i was typing - but yes, the longer its left (and if there is a problem), the more likely it is for higher intervention in regards to casts, rhino braces etc...
