I don't understand why this was not seen on xray....no need to guess about a diagnosis. That is confusing to me.Definitely glad you are going to a specialist!

This condition is clearly evident on xray, especially by the time they are limping from it....early stages, the bone looks like it is riddled with tiny little holes all up around the "ball" of the femur, where it goes into the socket of the hip bone.
