I’ve just been diagnosed with Avascular necrosis (bone is dyeing due to the lack of blood) of the right femoral head (that the Right hip) to any other sufferers sorry I now know how you feel… :-((
Pain started on the 2008 trip (maybe bad shockies) and I have been sooking since May have paid out over $750.00 + to be told if it still saw in 6 month have another MRI and give me a call.
But as I was told by my Footy coach, it’s only pain it will go away.. LOL
Cheers

So tell me mate,,,as I saw you the other night it\’s obvious your hip\’s in a bad way,,,,, if you have a replacement what do they do about the lack of blood supply to stop further deteriation post op. ? & here\’s hoping it\’s sooner than later,,,,,, cheers Jeff Butt\’s
Jeff It may only happen to one hip joint, they say there is only one blood vessel feeding the top of the ball when it is damaged or stops supply the head of the ball dies (bone) and then collapses. this is when the hip joint will need replacing.http://www.eorthopod.com/public/patient_education/6554/avascular_necrosis_of_the_hip.htmlRichard
