With the decrease of Covid-19 cases in the country, new types of diseases are emerging in recovered coronavirus patients. At first, it was mucormycosis or black fungus and now it is avascular necrosis (AVN), also called 'bone death'. Avascular necrosis can be easily considered as the next crippling condition among post-Covid patients. The common factor between mucormycosis and avascular necrosis is the use of steroids, the only drug proven to help Covid-19 patients during the second wave of coronavirus. Avascular necrosis pain is associated with the hip, thigh or buttocks.
