    Kathie,
    My husband was given an injection of Prednisone to save
    his life from an asthma attack, then given a week's regimen.
    After 2 days, the pain in his hips got so bad that he had to
    stop taking it. 2 years later (at 28 years old) he was given
    a diagnosis of Osteonecrosis caused by the Prednisone. Our
    lives have been robbed from us, and he is in constant pain,
    and needs a total hip replacement. If you find any legal
    info, or a way into a class action suit- please, please let
    me and everyone else know. Thanx!
