Core decompression for AVN — what it is, who it suits, and questions to ask first

If you have early avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip, you may be offered core decompression: "a small operation now, to save the hip later". It sounds reasonable, and for some people it is. But it is worth understanding what it does and does not do before you agree. Early AVN — exactly the stage at

Can steroids cause avascular necrosis? What to know, including after COVID treatment

You took steroids because you needed them — for asthma, a kidney or skin condition, an autoimmune disease, a transplant, or a serious bout of COVID-19. Now your hip hurts, and a scan says avascular necrosis (AVN). It is natural to feel angry or afraid. Two things are worth knowing straight away. Ste

What is avascular necrosis? The meaning, causes and symptoms, in plain words

Has your doctor told you that you or a member of your family have AVN, or written "avascular necrosis" on your scan report?

Is cervical spondylosis dangerous? Dizziness, numbness and when to worry

A report that says "cervical spondylosis", a hand that tingles, a spell of giddiness: it is natural to fear the worst.

Is a slipped or bulging disc reversible? What Ayurveda can do for your back

An MRI report that says "disc bulge" or "disc herniation" can feel like a life sentence: a back that will never be the same, and surgery waiting at the end. It need not be. The pushed-out part of a disc often shrinks back over time, the inflamed nerve can settle, and the back can be made strong agai
