i was diagnosed with this

Osteochondritis dissecans is a joint condition whereby a variable amount of bone and its adjacent cartilage loses its blood supply. Osteochondritis dissecans can involve the bone and cartilage of virtually any joint. Elbows and knees are most commonly affected. Usually, only a small portion of the affected cartilage is involved.

Comment by Kathy Mason on May 18, 2011 at 4:16am: What tests did you have in order to diagnose this and what treatment are you getting? I have had a left hip joint pain for as long as I could remember. When I eat extra iron the pain is disabling and actually causes me to limp.

Comment by P.Allen Jones on April 20, 2011 at 4:07pm: I never heard of it affecting chest bones!??? I will do some research on this one. I have Osteonecrosis in both hips and one knee and I can just imagine what you're going through. Stay strong and take care of yourself. God bless you.
