Overview
- Thiessen told Tom Papa on the Tuesday, Nov. 10 podcast that she needs a hip replacement after being diagnosed with a torn labrum and hip dysplasia.
- She said the pain has already forced her to stop playing pickleball with her 11‑year‑old son and has limited some daily activities.
- Thiessen has not given a date for surgery and said she sought a second medical opinion that revealed the hip dysplasia.
- She continues to work on the Disney+ series Coven Academy, which has reportedly been greenlit for a second season, and is splitting time between California and Vancouver for filming.
- Hip dysplasia is a condition in which the hip socket does not fully cover the ball of the thighbone, and Thiessen suggested her childhood dance training and early flexibility may have contributed to the problem.
