ok - I am at the orthapedic surgeons office today with my wife and he is asking her all these questions. she was there from hip pain due to bursitis and they took an xray and said they might want to give her an mri to make sure she did not have avn (something ventricular necrosis ) or something like that - the bone basically gets it blood supply cut off at the top of it and dies and the top of it collapses then. same thing Bo Jackson got from an injury. well - we ask - why would you think that? he says - I dont really - however you answered yes to taking oral steroids. she has taken medrol dose packs - oral prednisone for a skin condtion. he goes on to explain that they are confirming something - he was not sure - (maybe alpha 17) in oral steroids can induce changes in the lipid structure of the bone and can cause it to clog with fat and basically suffocate the blood supply.
ok - so now my heart is racing - I have not done orals but depo of course - so I ask him - well how about depo - he says - no problem and in fact his office only gives depo versions now due to this which is very new and not completely confirmed and it does not seem to create problems.
freaky eh?
any one else heard anything like this ?
