I was a dancer too and now I have AVN in both hips. I feel your pain. I am fighting to keep my hips. I take things to strengthen my bones (calcium, magnesium, etc) and it helped. I was diagnosed in 1996 and 2012, I'm still fighting. Please search the web about bone health, there are ways to delay surgery.

Hi guys!<br />
I'm new to the site. I have had 4 hip replacements. After my first 2, I was still able to dance (mainly in nightclubs!), run after the bus (I live in Europe!) and take long walks. After the next 2, which were replacements of the previous ones, I had a few problems, and constant pain. However, I can assure you that after the first replacement, I felt alive again, the pain disappeared, and my mobility was very good. If your operation is a success, you will be able to dance salsa again; I…

<p>I'm a salsa/hip hop dancer so I doubt if I had that surgery that I would be able to dance again. It's been 6 years so far since I found out I had AVN and I haven't had the replacement.. I take alot of calcium though.</p>

<p>Hi, i don't think dancing is impossible as long as its a slow dance that dosen't stress the leg. I'm currently on a physio shoe and i have limitations as to what i can do with my leg.</p>

<p>I must admit hearing this makes me so upset! I have needed a hip replacement on my left leg for 5-6 years and as I tell anyone God is the reason I'm still walking. I do have alot of pain. Being diagnosed w/ Avascular Necrosis of my femoral hip devastated me. I mean I'm a dancer. Majoring in 3 diff majors as a college sophomore but everything had come to a complete stop.

<p>I must admit hearing this makes me so upset! I have needed a hip replacement on my left leg for 5-6 years and as I tell anyone God is the reason I'm still walking. I do have alot of pain. Being diagnosed w/ Avascular Necrosis of my femoral hip devastated me. I mean I'm a dancer. Majoring in 3 diff majors as a college sophomore but everything had come to a complete stop. I became depressed as any natural person would. After a while I got tired. I claimed stuff on my life that no one should because I didn't understand why it was happening to me. I just recently found out I have AVN in my right leg, numerous hospitilizations with docs who really have no clue. All I can say is research for yourself. Some things we need them for but it's alot of natural products that can help out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We need to come together as sickle cell disease groups and make this known. Spread more awareness because alot of us have lost our lives over things that can be PREVENTED! Also I'm not sure of you guys religion but read the word... It helps. Keep positive people around you as well.</p>

<p>do you know that it is because of penicillin that so many more children with sickle cell disease live to adulthood? penicillin is an antibiotic.</p>
<p>i am not stomping on every subject on this site. i just disagree with you and your unfounded statements like what you have said above. </p>
<p>why are you so angry? i will not reply to any more responses along these lines. my goal is only to warn people so that they can then make up their own mind and i have done that.</p>

<p>Its' stopping a infection before damage is done!!!</p>
<p>Would you rather take antibiotics your whole life? Antibiotics (against life) kills ALL the flora in the gut as Oregano will not. Before you stomp on EVERY SUBJECT on this site, LOOK at the RESEARCH done on OIL of OREGANO. TRY IT for yourself and then report back your findings! what do you have to lose and what might you gain!</p>

<p>this sounds like a cruel scam. if treating sickle cell disease were as simple as this then there would be no need for this website. give us all a bit more credit. sickle cell might cause us to be ill but it doesn't cause us to be stupid.</p>
