I have it in my left shoulder

Yes, as @A MyLupusTeam Member said, I have had AVN. in both my right hip and left shoulder. The cause for me is long-term use of Prednisone. The end result was joint replacement in both joints. It's now in my knee. Eventually, I may need knee replacement. I hope that isn't the case for you.💜

You got this @A MyLupusTeam Member. Following your PT exercises is critical to your recovery. I still do them even though I had my surgery 15 years ago. I had an excellent surgeon. Please keep me updated on things. Hopefully, you are doing your surgeries separately. I am adding you to my team so we can keep in touch.💜

@A MyLupusTeam Member I have to have shoulder replacement in both shoulders. I wasn’t in long term steroids, but I have grade 3 AVN it both shoulders. I was so surprised by this.
Oh well… onward and upward right ?
