Osteonecrosis/ Avascular necrosis

Posted by coramayo @coramayo, Oct 13, 2022

I have Osteonecrosis/ Avascular necrosis with unknown etiology. I have had 4 joints collapse , both shoulders and. Hips. Currently in early stages in both knees and possibly other joints.
Looking for a knowledgeable doctor to manage medication treatment like possibly blood thinners and cholesterol reduction medication to help blood to bones. I’m in New York area.
Any recommendations?

I have had both shoulders, hips and knees replaced due to AVN. All the surgeries were a roaring success.I was in my 40s and very early 50s. I used to run marathons. Now I walk half-marathons. Nothing to do for AVN but surgery. Experience taught me that delaying surgery only means a longer time in pain.
