Is there anyone out there who has experienced osteonecrosis of the knee?

I am 27 years old and have been diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the knee in both my legs. I have baffled the doctors and no one really knows what to do or how to stop the spread of it.

Look up Dr. C. J. Glueck on the internet. He does research on clotting disorders and there was one he was recently doing on osteonecrosis but I think it was of the hips (can't recall). It will show his email addresses and phone numbers.
I went to him for another study and he always responds to emails. Good Luck.

Isn't it basically the deterioration of the bone? Drink more calcium and take calcium and Vitamin D pills. That won't stop it, but at least slow it down and help quite a bit while you think of something....
