AVN was diagnosed at stage 4. I was an avid athlete. My dream was to go to grad school with a soccer scholarship, however, this is coming from someone with type 1 diabetes and asthma, but I always made it through tryouts and started. I was bed-ridden for a year. My doctor knew not to hide anything from me. I will never forget his look into my eyes when we got the MRI back about my AVN. Never in my entire life have I had a doctor shed stears, but he did when he told me I could not run again. Well. I am a patient of stage 4 AVN, type 1 diabetes, 7 years since the surgery, and im walking, running (carefully), swimming. What I am trying to say is do not give up hope!!! I am not out there slide tackling and knocking people over in soccer like i used to!!! To be honest though, I am too old anyways now, at 23, I would not be doing that! I am lucky. I wakeboard, snowski (dont do double blacks anymore, but I do ski, I slalom ski (but I learned to get up on 2 and drop one to decrease impact). Basically what I am saying is your life doesn't end when you develop AVN, you just learn to be careful! I severed my femur a 13 yrs old due to a car accident. AVN was diagnosed at stage 4.
