Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I was just diagnosed with a labral tear after being injured in a motorcycle accident. I am asymptomatic, so my doctor did not recommend surgery. My mother has rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, so I have always been scared to get that. So my question is, I have read about treatments to heal the cartilage and bone and have seen Anavar used for bone and cartilage damage caused by trauma. Is this an option that could help?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Oxandrolone may help more with bone pain than healing. However, in your case, you are asymptomatic, so there is no major gain in taking it. It may increase bone resorption. Also, considering it being a steroid, a wide variety of side effects may come. I am against it and suggest physical therapy and being as active as possible.
Thank you.
