Can people with Osteonecrosis work? What kind of work can they perform?
See how people with experience in Osteonecrosis give their opinion about whether people with Osteonecrosis can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Osteonecrosis
It's hard to work at all, this disease affects far more than people realize. Effects everything from self esteem to mood to energy to anything else one could think of. Can't stand or sit for more than 20 min

Really depends on stages of ON. But physical work will certainly be more challenging and only get harder to perform as ON progresses. Also depends on how many locations within body you have ON and where. So many diff factors make this Q virtually worthless, unfortunately.

I cannot imagine working with this pain. Work will be dependent upon where your AVN is located, what your pain level and tolerance for pain is. How quickly or slowly your AVN is progressing. I was fortunate (or not?) to be out of work for another disability when the AVN came on. Pain is exhausting and if I am active I will be down for days after. Also may depend upon if you are on narcotics. This can greatly effect your thought process and concentration.

In general the answer is YES,:: but with a number of caviates, some people can do some things, and other people other.. I the matching of abilities to tasks is most important.

The ability to work can also vary greatly depending on the stage and progression of AVN in the affected joint(s). In the earlier stages, many do not even know they have it so they enjoy the same quality of life as any other. However, in more advanced stages patients can suffer a great deal of pain, loss of range of motion and increased immobility. It becomes increasingly difficult for patients to retain gainful employment in the later stages.

Yes. Sedentary work.

That depends on the location, advance of the affected area and type of work, with many surgeons - it can be a challenge to stay employed

People may not even know the have the disease while in the early stages. It is possible for some people to work right up until stage 5, but most people seek treatment earlier because of the intense pain.

This is all dependent on your level of discomfort. Any heavy lifting should be avoided as you are putting stress on an already compromised joint or bone.

It depends if you can control the pain and if you have multifocal avn

People with osteonecrosis can work but may have physical limitations due to pain and joint condition. Jobs with a lot of walking and physical activity may become too painful. Jobs done mainly seated may suit better. If the osteonecrosis is treated successfully with surgery the person is likely to be able to undertake jobs with higher physical demands again.
