Is There A Treatment For The Decompression In The Hip Joint Other Than Replacement?

Hi,
I am suffering from AVN from last 2.5 years. I had decompression 2 years back with both side hip joint. I was become perfect on my way I take only 3 pain killers in a week. I was happy I thought all things are going in a right way. Yesterday I met with my doctor for routine checkup. After the X ray report we found AVN has increased in my hip joint. He suggested to me that at this point of time we can not do anything.You should take your medicine on time. Now the next stage is Hip replacement.

My point is this how can we stop AVN?
Is there any special exercise…??
How can we save ourself from hip replacement?

Please add your Valuable comments.
Thanks

There is no way to prevent AVN progression except few medicines. THR is ultimate outcome though it can be delayed for some more years . You can send your detail investigations to me so that I can suggest you right management. There is no specific exercises though except you should not jump or lift heavy weight.
