33 yr old male here...
Been dealing with the pain of AVN for several months now. Bi-lateral, but asymptomatic on one side. However, I'm starting to feel the beginning of pains on that side. Maybe due to the stress of over-compensating for the other.
Long story short, the process of diagnosis and finding the best path forward have been treacherous.
I thank this forum for its work, community, and the insight it has provided.
After much deliberation, I'm pushing forward with the BMAC procedure on the 8th. Now I'm panicked and unsure if I'm making the right decision. There isn't much on here about the procedure post 2012...I kept secretly hoping that someone would report back on the effectiveness of the procedure here. User Maxpower seems to have not had a successful BMAC procedure by looking at his posts.
DANG IT. Now I can't stop thinking that I should just get a bi-lateral THR.
I'm just hoping the pain will end and that I can function normally again soon. This has been such a horrible and soul crushing journey.
