I thought I had arthritis in my hip. I was scheduled for a total hip replacement. My hip had been hurting for about 2 years. 3 weeks later, while lying on the couch I started screaming in pain. I was crazy, passing out, coming to, passing out again.
I spent 5 hours in the ER before I was transferred to a room while I waited for surgery.I don't remember a lot of it, thank God. /p>
By the time I had surgery my hip had crumbled. It took 5 surgeries in 11.5 months to keep my hip from dislocating. I was dislocating my hip an average of every 8 days.
Now I have more joints dyeing. Probably at least one knee, both shoulders. Usually if you have AVN it will be in both hips. I need a full body scan.
I am not getting blood to my joints and bones, probably caused by steroids and heavy cigarette use. I don't use either now, except a steroid inhaler twice a day.
Oh my goodness, I never heard of that condition. I am sorry you are having to go through this. I do not know what would help. Lack of blood flow to joints and bones. Sounds as though herbs that assist with circulation and bone strength could be useful. I can look up and post herbs for helping with bone and tendon/cartilage joint strength and health, and also for blood circulation.
Maybe some alternative healing methods like a good acupuncturist or BodyTalk, which I hate the name of, but saved my life about 17 or 18 years ago. It is a seemingly, to me, “woo” method that is actually based on Ayurvedic and CTM (Chinese Traditional Medicine) foundation of elements, chi and prana, organ relationships.
I will find a link, you can look up practitioners. If you want to know more I can freepmail a bit about my experiences with it. THey also have a “spiritiual” thing which I utterly abhor and disagree with. But the regular therapeutic treatments I found extremely good.

BodyTalk System
BodyTalk System, a holistic therapy grounded in the belief that living organisms have the capability to heal themselves more effectively than any technology used today, combines elements of both Eastern and Western medicine to facilitate personal healing and growth.
By addressing the entire person rather than one specific issue, BodyTalk provides a “whole-healthcare” system that promotes emotional, physical and physiological well-being. Therapists who practice BodyTalk use a number of techniques, all of which are non-invasive, to help those in treatment tap into the body’s natural system of healing.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE BODYTALK SYSTEM
The BodyTalk System was developed in the 1990s by Dr. John Veltheim, an Australian chiropractor, acupuncturist, and teacher. Contributing factors to the development of this treatment method include Veltheim’s postgraduate studies in kinesiology, bioenergetic psychology, sports medicine, and counseling, among others, and his search to meet his own healthcare needs while dealing with a life-threatening illness. He traveled the world to find answers, exploring alternative remedies in both Eastern and Western medicine, and an osteopath in New Zealand introduced him to techniques that eventually became the foundation for the BodyTalk System.
