Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Lucy, Sorry to hear about the pain in your knee. Glad to hear though, that your hips are OK. Just wondering, considering that you have AVN, .... has your doctor ever ordered a complete bone scan of your body to determine whether AVN was anywhere else? This was one of the first diagnostic tests my AVN specialist ordered for me after finding AVN in my right hip. Plan to repeat this test a year from now. Have some peace of mind knowing AVN is at bay at least for now. Hoping you can have peace of mind too.
