I went to my family doctor today for severe groin pain. She told me it was most likely my hip and that I might have avascular necrosis from steroids. Everything I read upon returning home says this is pretty rare. I only had Solu-Medrol about 4 times, the last in 2006 and never took Prednisone oral. She said just one time could cause the necrosis.
I don't ever remember being told that this could happen from Solu-Medrol IV! The purpose of the treatments was to keep the MS from getting worse and keeping my mobility, now I can't walk because it may have ruined my hip.
I will know tomorrow if it is that from x-rays taken, but I have widespread joint pain, shoulders and wrists, and now am wondering if it could be in other joints too.
I am wondering just how often this happens, so please respond if you have had this diagnosis. And if you were on steroids for a long time, or just briefly. This is really scary to me.
If you have had
