Post: prednisone causing AVN
Posted by sally on 12/11/08
After being on prednisone for a lengthy period of time I was diagnosed with advanced vascular necrosis of hips and osteoporosis of hips and spine. I just have had first total hip replacement. I was never informed of the risks from taking prednisone for long periods of time, I myself took myself off the drug because how I was physically feeling, even surgeon said the severity of hip damage (AVN)is seen from high doses and long usage of steroids/prednisone. My question is this are there any class action suits pending due to the drug usage? And do any of you know of any local atty's handling the class action suit? Sally
