When I was a kid I was diagnosed with Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis?

Now as an adult, almost 20 years after having had surgery on both of my hips, I am having a lot of pain. Sometimes my R hip goes numb, and other times, I have pain that shoots from my hip down to my knee, and wraps around my shin bone. Sometimes when I am sitting down my toes turn blue, and my tonails turn purple...then my left hip often times feels as if there is a giant bubble that just wants to pop. Then every now and then, my hips lock up to the point where I cant stand up, I can barely sit, and I cant bend or unbend my knee's. What I guess I'm looking for is somebody who has had this issue, or somebody who knows about this issue. I want to know what now??? 20 years later, what do I have to look forward to, and are these issues I am having treatable???
