Has anyone tried Viagra for Femur Head Necrosis
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have Necrosis in both hips. Probably the result of playing rugby then having high cholesterol for some time.
Its too far gone to repair, its not bad enough that I'm ready for a hip replacement.
I have seen articles where Studies show Viagra has had a noticeable impact on this kind of condition in mice and rabbits. I'm stuck at home for the month with the Coronavirus lock-down... and am thinking.. might as well take Viagra for a month and see if it improves my Necrosis. No need to worry about accidental erections in the office.
I'm wondering if anyone has done this? Or... if not... if you've had a period where you took Viagra every day for a period, if you noticed it resulted in improvement in joint pain?
By the way. This is not a joke post. here is one of many multiple studies

I don't expect there to ever be any research done on it. The Viagra patent has expired, there is no money in it for drug companies to find another use for a drug that can be bought as a generic.
So I am about to go full guinea pig.
Serious replies please. Yes yes, its Viagra. But I am looking at it from a therapeutic angle for hip necrosis

In the time it has been on the market I've not heard anyone say that they can now catch the girls they chase 😃

Should have added that I had Perthes disease as a child and that hip looks just as bad on X-Rays still

If your doctor agrees that it is safe for you to try I would definitely see if it helps. The drug does have some side effects depending on your other health issues you might be able to take it .
Best of luck to you.
