Hi Brenda,
I'm interested in the above. You said "as a direct result of the
steriods...."??? Are you saying that the steroids, in particular the
solumedrol, caused the necrosis??
I had an exacerbation the end of August and still fighting to get my left leg
back to were it was. I was on Prednisone by mouth but now am to be scheduled
for an out-patient IV of solumderol......so your post caught my eye!!
Would be very interested in your response....or if anyone else has had this
in particular.
Thanks.....and good luck to all!!
Linda
