I first had avn in my left foot of the 2nd Metatarsal Head in 2006. Then in 2011 both hips succumbed with full collapse and replacement. Now as of last month I was notified that my right ankle and every bone in the right foot now has avn and has made it to the everyday heavy pain level along with my left knee. The doctor has not came up with a solution yet but I know that I need replacements in both my right ankle and left knee in the close future. I am a 34yrs old male vet looking for people who are or have been in the similar boat as me.

I only have two places, the heads of both femurs. I am a lot older than you too. Question: anyone determined a possible cause? Have you been on steroids a lot? Are you a scuba diver? Do you drink heavily? All are known causes of AVN. Could you have been exposed to an agent while serving that could have set this off?
I am so sorry you are having to deal with this!
