Homeopathy Remedies
Submitted by racerx on 20 April, 2009 - 00:50

I came across a blog that discussed homeopathy remedies for AVN of the hip.  It looks promising but couldn't find any supporting details of this doctors claims.  Some of the drugs he uses seem like they could be dangerous.  Here is what I found out about the doctor from his website.

Are pain and quality of life considerations for joint replacement?
Submitted by joel on 15 April, 2009 - 04:20

After 15 months of relentless pain and suffering, I went to see my orthopedic surgeon today hoping that this would be the day when he finally would agree to double-knee replacements. The newly imaged MRI results concur with 12-month-old results and show the same multiple lesions on my femurs, including massive medial anterior (middle front) lesions through to the inner layer of bone. These lesions are so painful that I have been unable to stand up and have been confined to a wheelchair for over 12 months now.

A Lot of Feedback on the Fosamax Story
Submitted by joel on 29 March, 2009 - 06:13
Thank you to all who have submitted questions and feedback about the Fosamax story. Clearly, there is still a great deal of confusion about the effectiveness of this medication as a treatment for Avascular Necrosis. We understand this confusion and that misinformation still exists even among doctors. Thus, our editors took a great deal of time and care in writing this article and cited 7 reputable research sources throughout the article.

How well do you feel doctors today understand the experience of patients with Avascular Necrosis?
