    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    Found out the source of my pain. It's Edema on my hip joint. No fractures, so that's good. Not sure if I'll have to replace it later down the line on both hips.

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    I've got a nice schedule. Work in the morning on campus and attend in the afternoon. To your son, better luck this time! He can do it, just need to bit the extra work in. That's very nice to hear. The Vegas strip was very fun to explore, although I wish I had come with a bit more cash and...

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    I start school this Monday. :) I can finally walk again, and I went to Las Vegas a few weeks back and explored the Vegas strip for 4 days. I still get pain on my hip though, I'm guessing because it's still healing? Not sure. I do have a bunch of inflammation with my AVN on my most of joints...

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    I'm hanging in there considerably well, better than expected. As for a dream job, perhaps the CDC. Although, if there's plenty of time ahead of me, I want to get into medical research. I'm going for what satisfies my bordem and science fills that void with rewarding challenges. It's also a...

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    Hello. I'm studying to get a BS in Microbiology and work my way up to get a clinical lab science license. Math was always a struggle for me k-12, and I even had to start all over in community College with pre-algebra. I put many hours of studying and received a streak of As all the way up to...

    Surprisingly better. The pain is a lot more tolerable without narcotics. I was able to go to class today without any issues so I'm optimistic.

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    I have about 3 weeks left of this course and I'll be given rides. Luckily, the class is near the front entrance of the campus. I can't drop because of my financial aid, so I'll just have to endure 9 school days with an ice pack.:shrug: Heck, it could have been worse. They tried to schedule me...

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    Oh wow, this is rather encouraging and informative. Yes, they told me THR would only last me about 10-15 years. I've tried to get different opinions from many doctors but their answers were practically the same. My insured by kaiser, if that matters. My core decompression was just a drilling...

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    Yep, I've got that well iced. I live in California and the heat is just blowing through my ice packs (no AC in my bedroom). My brother is here to keep that ice coming, though. Thanks for the tag by the way.

    Depression/post-op blues - open for all

    I'm a victim of domestic violence in my childhood, cancer, and now AVN. I don't know how I do it, but I always get through. I honestly can't remember a time in my life that I was at peace. It's one of the reasons why I find death to be so appealing, but here I am continuing to fight and hope...

    Core Decompression Post OP--What to expect for a youngster?

    Hi, I'm 24 years old with AVN on both hips, with the right hip being mostly asymptomatic as of now. Yes, I know, I'm a rare breed. Unfortunately, not only do I have AVN on my hips, I have it on both elbows and left shoulder. This was all due to chemotherapy and long use of prednisone. I was...
