I’m sorry to hear about your pain.

For an active sportsman, that certainly can be quite distressing.

I don’t think you have dislocated as that will really really be painful and will be hard to walk.

But popping sounds can be a sign of other illnesses, perhaps you might want to see a doctor to get it properly diagnosed, there are some “childhood” diseases that can predispose patients to hip injuries.

Can I still exercise and participate in triathlons if I have IgA nephritis?

I can completely understand your disappointment at being told to cut back on sports, being an avid sports person myself. I shall attempt to break down and explain the situation for you: 1. The evidence about whether IgA nephropathy patients should completely avoid strenuous exercise is equivocal, to my knowledge. Data has shown that even though significantly increased levels of proteinuria are noted after intense exercise (maximal treadmill Bruce test), this lasts for less than 120 minutes.

If I’m underweight, how can I gain weight and bulk up in a healthy manner?

Thanks for your question – a problem I am sure many people face, particularly if they have specific strength and fitness goals. Firstly it’s great news that you have managed to gain the 10kg – well done! Was that through simply exercising or diet changes too? When you went for health screening did they check for the following: 1. Thyroid disease 2. Bowel disease 3. Malabsorption 4. Metabolic conditions You see there are many things that can cause trouble with weight gain, and if these haven’t been ruled out, your aims might be hard to achieve.
