I would go for it.As far as infections
go,as long as you take the iron
pills and stomach injections,you'll be
fine.If you are having bone-on-bone
pain,which all avn patients do,you will be
releaved after recovery.To
me,there is no greater pain than that.The

There are two general kinds of knee
problems: mechanical and inflammatory.
Mechanical: result from injury, such as a
direct blow or sudden movements that
strain the knee beyond its normal range of
movement. Aand result from wear and tear
on its parts, such as osteoarthritis in
the knee.
Inflammatory: occurs in certain rheumatic
diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and
systemic lupus erythematosus.
The knee is composed of bones and
cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and
muscles. Arthritis of the knee may causes
pain, swelling, and a decrease in knee
motion. Chondromalacia is a dull pain
around or under the knee cap that worsens
when walking down stairs or hills. Injury
to the cruciate ligaments is sometimes
referred to as a sprain. The person may
hear a popping sound, and the leg may
buckle when tries to stand on it. Medial
and lateral collateral ligament injuries
is most often a blow to the outer side of
the knee that stretches and tears the
ligament on the inner side of the knee.
Knee tendon injuries and ruptured tendons
are tendon stretches like a worn-out
rubber band and becomes inflamed.
Osteochondritis dissecans results from a
loss of the blood supply to an area of
bone underneath a joint surface and
usually involves the knee.
Ice the knee for first 12 hours if the
knee is injured. You can use foment bag
for your knee after 24 hour.
