Hello,
I just found this forum, but when I saw your post even though it is old I had to reply. I have the exact same thing had Covid twice no steroids and about 6 months after the last time with Covid 15 months after first time with Covid I was diagnosed with AVN in both hips. Having second hip replaced in Feb 24. Having mri of knees, feet, and ankles due to lots of pain.
