thanks for input
Thanks, all, for your input. Avascular necrosis is something I worry about. Although it is supposedly rare, I have three friends who had hip replacement (two are on their second set!) in their 30s and 40s as a result of avascular necrosis of the hips from taking prednisone. I will ask my doc and NP about it on Monday. I have tried heat on my lower back, but it hasn't helped much. I finally gave in to drugs and took long-acting oxycodone this morning, which did get me through the day.
Thanks again!
