Persistent deep aching core bone pain that does not go away, and once you notice it in one joint...the nasty way it has of creeping into other joints! The pain radiates from the bone outward.
Ostionecrosis is the death of bone in the body. There are many causes, such as an interruption of the blood supply or other trauma to the area. Pain is a primary symptom. Stiffness, inflammation, and lack of motion usually acompany the pain.
CAN is typically asymptomatic until it's more advanced. Symptoms can include joint pain (especially when weight bearing) and a loss in range of motion.
Deep dull ache in any joint that is hard to pinpoint when asked. This pain worsens over time and will make it difficult to do everyday things. Eventually the joint will “collapse” causing extreme pain that interferes with everything you do.
Early stage osteonecrosis can be asymptotic. Later pain develops in the affected joint (commonly the hips) and can be felt in many areas like the thigh, groin, hip or knee. Pain might only occur when weight baring on the affected limb. This can cause a limp As the joint worsens the pain usually gets worse too. Pain can become constant and severe. It can't usually be managed by over the counter pain relief. If the condition remains undiagnosed the affected joint can collapse when weight baring causing sudden excruciating pain. That can lead to limb shortening and inability to put weight on the limb.
