Avascular necrosis stage 2? 3?
My orthopedic surgeon says that core decompression is no longer an option and that I need my left hip replaced. It has been extremely painful to walk since 6/3. I don't have a pic of my latest xrays but the necrosis is present on it. Here is my MRI though. Thoughts?
Btw I have lupus and was on very high doses of oral steroids for a very long time and received IV 1000mg of methylprednisolone 3 days in a row last year to save my life.
