What Hip Joint Pains Are Caused By Injuries?
Serious hip injuries, dislocations, or fractures can lead to Avascular Necrosis, a condition wherein blood supply to the ball (the ball-shaped piece of bone that fits into the socket of the hip) portion of the thighbone is cut off and the bone begins to break down. As a result, the surrounding cartilage also begins to collapse, producing acute pain and other symptoms. Such injuries can be caused by: • Hip fracture that tears the vessels supplying blood to the head of the femur • Steroid medications, such as prednisone and other immune suppressant drugs. • Chronic asthma • Rheumatoid arthritis • Lupus organ transplants & other surgeries Visit the Glucosamine Product Guide A review of the leading commercial products available today.
