Hi I was diagnosed with avn (avascular necrosis of the hip 2 months ago, I ve had pain in my knee from this, for about a month now I ve had pain in the other hip and knee, waiting to get scans to see if the avn has spread.. My ankles are throbbing and in continuous pain could the avn have spread to them also?
Hello, I have studied your case. Yes AVN is bilateral disease and can involve other hip also. After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. Diet rich in calcium and protein will help may need urgent intervention after diagnosis. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
