Have Avascular necrosis or AVN - though the word is so small, the story and pain behind this illness is unbearable.
When you have an invisible illness, it's hard to explain to someone who doesn't have a clue. It's a daily struggle being in pain or feeling sick on the inside, when you look fine on the outside.

I have recently replaced my left hip and came to know the right hip is equally damaged. I am going for right hip replacement surgery. We can talk about my
journey through this illness.

When you have a chronic illness, giving up isn't really an option. It's not like you can just stop being sick. It doesn't work that way. So you just have to keep fighting. So on the days when you feel like you just spent the whole day being sick and weren't really able to accomplish much - know that just getting through that day was a HUGE accomplishment. And know that you are strong.
