I just found out in 2010 that I have fibromyalgia and I have ost
eoporosis, osteo necrosis, avascular necrosis due to prednisone
I was on since I was 13 until 26. and was put on it again in
2013 for arhriis but it really is that I need 2 knee and 2 hip
replacements. The prednisone killed my bones in my knees and
hips. Is there a law suit for this cause I get maybe 2 hr sleep
if any a all. it hurts to walk, sit, lay down, and drive. I am i
n pain from my head to sole of my feet. They never told my mm th
is could happen nor did they ever tell me.
