We don't appear to have had anybody mention this condition on the community so far, would you like to tell us some more about it?
Yes 10 years of taking steroids has trashed my skeleton. One of a multitude of side effects of treatment following a bone marrow transplant.
I was due for a double hip replacement some years ago. I never went through with it as the life of an artificial joint is only around 15 years and following a dose reduction I actually recovered some bone. Although this is unheard of for hips apparently.
The surgery will help for a while but unless the cause is stopped, deterioration of the surrounding bone will begin again.
There doesn't seem to be anything that can be done to ease the pain. I find myself having to turn over many times during the night while in bed.

If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd appreciate your feedback on our online community.
