Default Rule of Thumb
Brian,
I did some research and found this: http://www.eorthopod.com/eorthopodV2...563f47f/area/8

I do know that as a result of high steriod usage, I've suffered stress fractures. Do you know what your bone density looks like? Do you have osteoporosis?

I really am not sure. Maybe Glenn or Mrs. D will have some advice.

Hi Billye and thanks for your reply and that reference website, it goes along with what i have read so far myself.
I don't know anything about bone density, but going by the hip xrays i have severe osteoarthritis, no cartlidge left and lots of bone spurs [osteophites] that your own body creates when it knows there is some thing wrong, it tries to grow more bone to compensate, but really just makes it worse causing the hip to sorta lockup when you bend over.
thanks again,
Brian
