Or is anyone familiar with it? My mom's doctor is testing her for it in regards to her "bad hip", and I'm wondering if this is a form of TMS? Or is Osteonecrosis something "real" that needs to be treated physically?

Thanks!

Yes osteonecrosis is a real physical problem and needs to be medically treated. Its good her doctor is testing your Mom for it.

Hi busted, Osteonecrosis is avascular necrosis, which is very similar to TMS in that its a ischemic disorder. While it may be a real physical problem, it doesnt mean that TMS is NOT a factor. There is a lack of blood supply to the bone, causing it to detoriorate. Personally there a lot of factors that your mom needs to determine, but take it one step at a time and see what works and she should take a tms approach with it (ie. continue to do physical activity, think positivly etc), but may need to just modify it to her condition ie - swimming instead of running etc.

Best of luck.

On a side note - in the divided mind there are cases of "bad hips" that have degenerated over time that were infact tms, but once again - they are dr.s and able to make those distinction.
