[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 389294, member: 1963"] My husband, before he became ill, lost a hip joint to avascular necrosis. He fell at work and damaged the blood supply to the joint. Over a period of months, the bone died in his hip. He was in agony. So bad that he woke up in recovery raving about how much better his hip felt. He did well for several years untill the replacement began to wear (they are not made to take the stress of running and other heavy exercise). By that time, revising the replacement was a huge surgery fraught with all sorts of risks due to his bone marrow and blood disease. He pulled through with the help of many platelet and packed cell transfusions, but the hip was never the same and troubled him to the end of his life. [/QUOTE]
