Hey there... I have a question,if there s anyone who can help me pls.. i m 25,i had no accident or something like this ,that could cause me this kind of problems,i was perfectly healthy until two years ago,when i started to have pains on my hips..when i felt they werent passing,i ve made some medical investigations...and in january last year i was diagnosed with coxarthrosis,because of the symptoms.but in time they weren t the same so my dr said its better to try the arthroscopy to see exactly what s happening in there...he couldn t see very well inside because there was kind of inflammations..Anyway,after that he though that it is possible to have some autoimmune disease... i ve made some medical tests and it seems very clearly that i actually have aseptic necrosis of the femoral head,in bouth sides,worse in the left... But it hurts me more in the right,like almost all the time. And i don t understand why,if the left femoral head is so damaged,why is it the pain so intense on the right... Can someone light me up??
Thanks very much,anticipated!!
Best regards everyone!
Why don't you ask your doctor?
@Tes yeux noirs,
I'd like to know another opinion..
Well, as a qualified accountant, my opinion is that the cause is some kind of muscle imbalance. I asked my brother, who is a qualified automobile electrician, and he says that it might be "something getting strained". There you go. Some more opinions. I'll ask the guy who lives next door when I see him and report back.
@Bonni ,
As one with some experience with the condition (mine was accident induced, 30+ years ago) I can appreciate why you might ask someone other than your doctor. There have been amazing advances in medicine but I have been astounded by how little doctors can tell you about the causes and perception of pain. I doubt they can do little more than guess. You will have to become your own pain expert.
It sounds like you are eventually destined for hip replacement if no other fix is available (I just had my third which went well) I was young for hip replacement and a hip fusion was recommended because of that. I rejected that option in favor of 20 - 30 years of relatively normal life even if it meant possibly losing a leg at the end of it. You may feel differently.
If you end up going the replacement route, do your own research on type. My original surgeon made the choice on who the friendliest medical device rep was. That's one reason i'm on my third.
All the best,,,
@Bonni ,
No one in this forum is a medical doctor.
@Finn dAbuzz,
If you don't like the situation with your doctor, see another one, particularly an orthopedist.
There is a branch of medicine called Pain Medicine; a friend almost specialized in that field some years ago. I'd suggest doing some google exploration about that.
@ossobuco,
Pain Medicine specialist are too often drug dealers
@Finn dAbuzz,
Ah, I can imagine that could be true. I also don't know any specialists in it, and that friend from the old days went into emergency room medicine instead; he was (and still is) a good guy.

You don't need 4 years of med school, 1 year of internship, 5-8 years of residency to be a drug dealer. To be an MD, who specializes in pain management, you do need 4 years of med school, 1 year of intership, and 5-8 years of residency plus 1-3 years of a high quality fellowship.
@Miller,
And sometimes I think that is just a government 'jobs program'.

So? All that education precludes one from legally selling drugs?
@Finn dAbuzz,
I see both sides.
The guy I knew who was considering going into pain medicine was and still is altruistic. That's presumptive, as we haven't talked for a few years.
I doubt that in his seventies he has changed.
I know there are bad doctors. I read about them in my teens.
I knew about some in real life.
@ossobuco,
Of course not all of them are bad guys, but many of them are. The thought that an MD is perforce some sort of Saint is absurd.
@Finn dAbuzz,
I could probably write a comedy about that, and other modes.
Stumble It!
