HI I have found out that the 2yr statue of limitations will not
be a problem to get around because of the way disease works,It
may be 2-3yr's before you start to notice a problem. Also tdrug
maker knew that there was a risk of AVN and never posted the
side effect.. It's a little similar to the mesothelioma cases.I
just don't know what to from here. The prednisone has caused 6-
joints to fail. hips,knees and shoulders I have replace 1 hip
and 1 shoulder. It's been a nightmare and I am on full
disability.. Where to go from here??
