I took prednisone for 10 days for a skin problem and now I have a fake hip and it has traveled to the right hip. Pray to god, I don't need a right hip
replacement too.  I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.  I took the steroids in October of 93.  My hip didn't start bothering me until July of 94, but once it did I had total femoral head collapse in 2 months.
I also have M.S., but I don't do medication..I do alternative medicine...Acupuncture, Massage , herbs and supplements.
I just wish doctors would warn people of the possible dangers in taking steroids.
