A member asked:
I have bad hip. also have disuse atrophy in legs. dr said he might give me anabolic steroids post surgery to help with rehab/recovery. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Anabolic steroids are not "normally" given post hip replacement but in YOUR case your muscle atrophy may be helped with that medication! Follow your surgeon's plan! Good Luck! Hope this helps! Dr Z
