    I have AVN of both knees both shoulders and right hip. I took
    prednisone for an ear problem and ended up "crippled" I have
    had a core decompression on my hip and a knee surgery so far.
    I was diagnosed 5-11-06. Please inform me about any law
    suites. Doctors should tell patients that this is a side
    effect of this medication. I am only 31 and on permanent
    disability.
