Yes, I have had it. I now have a bionic hip (replacement). What has your doctor suggested to you?
Joann, I have had a few patients who developed this and did very well after hip replacement. Take care!😘
I was 38 when I had the initial pain and my orthopedic surgeon said that I was too young for total hip replacement. The pain returned more severely. My doctor's partner did a total hip replacement. I was doing very well. It's been almost 20 years. I get pain every now and then. Part of that is because I tend to sleep on my hip. Honestly, I am grateful to no longer feel the pain I had back in 2005 & 2007. The surgery isn't a cure all, but when you follow everything you are taught at post-op physical therapy, you will be amazed at how much better you feel. That's if you need surgery at all.
Please let me know what the ortho tells you when you go to your appointment. I will be thinking of you.💜

Yes, many people with lupus experience avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. In fact, between 0.8 percent and 33 percent of people with lupus develop symptomatic AVN. This condition occurs when bone tissue doesn't get enough blood flow, causing the bone to die.
