History of B-cell lymphoma. Taken radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Have leg pain, difficulty walking straight
Patient: Sir/Madam, I am a 24 years old guy. I was diagnosed to be suffering from Mediastinal mass large B-Cell lymphoma in October 2011. I underwent 12+2 cycles of chemotherapy till 16th march 2012 and later on 20 episodes of radiation therapy. During chemotherapy,I was given heavy dose of steroid(75 mg of prednisolone per day) for almost 5&1/2 months. After 6 months of chemotherapy,I started to have some pain in my both legs which was occasional at the beginning and became persistent later on. From february 2013 i started to have difficulty in movements and could not walk straight and properly.Now it is diagnosed to be AVASCULAR NECROSIS, which is most probable to  be 3rd and 4th stgae .Can you please tell me whether it can be treated through ayurvedic medicines completely. If yes,how much time can it take and how much can it cost me. Doctor: Hi, Sorry to hear about your condition. Avascular necrosis can be due to chemotherapy, excessive steroids use etc. Most common site is hip joint. Anyway, conservative management has little role . Many a time that can be benefited by surgery like total hip replacement, metal on metal resurfacing. Consult your doctors. Role of ayurvedic medicines is not known to me.
