Can Creatine be used to help with Avascular Necrosis(something like arthritis)?

poor college student so no $ to be going back and forward to dr. there aren't any home treatments? i have it through sickle cell.

No. Creatine is a located in muscles, not bones. Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is not much like arthritis, and it can be a very dire situation. It literally means that a bone has no blood supply, thus it's dying. I can only assume you've been treated, or it is at the very least being watched closely. Be careful, bones with AVN tend to break easily. Take care and keep your appointments with the doctor.

Update: Where, specifically is the AVN?
