🦴 Bones Can “Die” Without You Realizing It
A condition called Avascular Necrosis occurs when blood flow to a bone is reduced or cut off. Without blood, the bone tissue literally begins to die.
- It often affects the hip, shoulder, or knee
- Early stages can have no symptoms at all
- By the time pain appears, the bone may already be collapsing
This condition can be triggered by long-term steroid use, heavy alcohol consumption, or even injury.
