Title: Osteoking
Post by: junta421 on September 10, 2009, 02:52:02 PM
Hello all,

I m new here. Just diagnozed with  steroid induced stage II AVN in right  hip. I would like to know if anybody here tried osteoking as altenative medicine for AVN. Its FDA approved bone supplement so I dont think it has any contaminants like other chinese medicines.

Dying to listen some positive remarks about Osteoking. Cant wait to try ... ;D

When I was diagnosed, many doctors wanted to operate (depressurization). I don't believe any of the operations really work. On Dr Mankin's advice (Mass General; a pioneer), I went on crutches for 6 months and that stabilized the situation for a few years. Eventually (10 years) I did a hip resurfacing and I am very happy with it. I think that's your eventual cousre. The only thing I would add is you don't have to wait 10 years. When pain and range of motion issues start affecting you, go ahead and have it resurfaced. The technique is very advanced now and you will regret not having done it earlier!

Regards.
