Breathe. Its; the hand you've been dealt. You are tough. You'll be ok. Find a good ortho who is knowledgeable on ON. Most important thing. Don't ask questions in support groups and rely only on the opinion of others. Everyone is different!! Have a good support system. Seek info.

Seek out an AVN Specialist or request your physician to send your medical records out for review by an AVN Specialist. Unfortunately, the patient is the only one that knows how you feel...and far too often it is up to the patient to pursue the treatments they feel they need. Educate yourself, I do feel some of the AVN WebSupport Groups are helpful and have good resources and links to speed up the learning process. You can learn from others. But I agree each individuals issues are your own.

Seek out a doctor that has experience in the treatment of AVN/Osteonecrosis. It is a VERY rare condition that only affects 10-12,000 people a year. Finding a doctor that understands the disease is the most difficult.

It’s not the end of the world. You still have a life to live. Try the best that you can. Have faith that there is a remedy out there for you, not a cure, but a procedure to help alleviate some or most of your symptoms. Tell your family and close friends. You will possibly need there help at some time in the future. Again have faith. You’ve got this.

It's a rare disease so find support by looking for avascular necrosis (AVN) groups on social media sites like Facebook.
It's important to remember that there are successful treatments for osteonecrosis that take away the pain and return your physical activity.
