Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 HI all, I am 27 years old, I have lupus (since 1997) anc i was placed on steroids. Now I have AVN on my left hip, its now in a pretty late stage and it is severely limiting my mobility. I was told to have a hip replacment if i really cannot tolerate the pain anymore. I was also told that a ceramic hip is good. But as i was reseraching i found out about hip resurfacing, it really intrigues me as I am so young. I just have some questions that i hope you can help me with. 1. Is there anyone in the group who had resurfacing for avascular necrosis? 2. I have been told that resurfacing is not for avascular necrosis, is this true? 3. How is the process of recovering from a hip resurfacing? I cant get off work long and I need this job. 4. I was also told that the metal debris from a resurfacing are not good, and its not advisable for women who still want to have children, is this also true? Any help will be appreciated. sincerely, MK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
