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!
