Suggest Treatment For Avascular Necrosis
I developed avascular necrosis after receiving two rounds of intensive chemo, steriods and stem cell transplant 7 years ago (CNS lymphoma). My left hip is very painful but was told from ortho surgeon to wait for hip replacement because I am only 56 years old (5 4 and weigh 165 lbs.) and to take ibuprofen for pain. (I had partial shoulder replacement surgery three years ago.) I just ordered sample of instaflex for pain and mobility. My medications are Prozac 40 mgs twice daily, Ativan 2 mgs as needed and Allegra.
