A member asked:

No: If you are talking about flattening of your femoral head, which is the ball that attaches your leg to your pelvis, you may need additional medical or surgical therapy. If mild, steroid injections may give you relief. If severe, you may need joint replacement surgery. See an orthopedic surgeon for advice.
