Anyone out there with a SCFE story close top mine?

I was 10 years old when I got the surgery for serve SCFE. It was a very bad slip. They had to cut my pelvic bone away and get the ball joint out of socket and put 4 screws in it and put it all back in place. I had very little to chance at all to walk cause how bad the damage was to everything around it. Then when I was 16 had to have another surgery on the same hip to shave bone that grew around the screws that was chopping away my hip society and the cartaledge in my hip. I've always had problems with my hip since about a year after the surgery. My hip will dislocate random time. it's dislocated when I say on a bed say on a bench and turned my upper half to look behind me walking at work and no I didn't slip or move weird I literally just took a step. I can't work cause after an hour in my feet I can't stand the pain cause it got so bad. It's getting where it takes everything in me to walk around a store. I've always loved walking, working out, hiking but now out nearly kills me to go shopping for food. And it's only been 10 years and I've been to doctors and I was told my bones never fused together so they can't remove the screws. For three pay 6 months at random times my leg will go numb like dead numb I've had the pressure points on my shine and toe and I didn't feel anything. I'm worried soon it's gonna be I can't well at all.
