A member asked:
I have vascular necrosis hip (both) due to high usage of prednisone because i have a kidney problem, what kind of exercise can i do to avoid surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: There is nothing that is going to make the avascular necrosis better. It's all about monitoring and close contact with an ortho doc to determine if an when intervention is necessary.
