What are the signs of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease? My sister had it when she was younger but it took the doctors forever to figure out what she had.
It's not always possible to diagnose Legg-Calve-Perthes disease right away because the symptoms might be vague at first and they can resemble many other problems with the hip.

The signs and symptoms of Legg-Calve-Perthes are:

- hip pain that worsens with activity

- limping

- pain in the thigh or knee

So, as you can see, these symptoms may not always be automatically attributed to Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
