Subject: Osteonecrosis: Were you warned?

My daughter was diagnosised with Osteonecrosis and feel that there was insufficient warning of this side effect. In short, she took steroids for 4 months with the highest dose being 90 mg of solumedrol while hospitalized. She developed knee pain a year later and after aggressive MRI testing, we've discovered that she has Osteonecrosis in her right shoulder, both elbows, both wrists, both knees and both ankles. The medical community has known for 30 years that steroids cause Osteonecrorosis, but consumer dislosure seems to be lacking. I'd like to hear the stories of others about their journey with steroids and whether or not you feel that there is insufficient warning of this side effect.
