Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from pain in foot. It is due to avascular necrosis . Avascular necrosis is decreased blood supply to bones. You also have reduced bone density, it can be due to pain leading less use of your foot, leading to regional osteoporosis. O try method of reducing pain ,one of which fusion of bones as suggested by your podiatrist. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful.
