Avascular Necrosis

A cycle of poems «Orthopedics»

In the silence of bone, a silent foe
Avascular necrosis, a tale of woe
Blood starved cells, a living death
As bones succumb to their fateful breath

Avascular necrosis, a cruel disease
Painful, relentless, bringing unease
Bones crumble and weaken, with every stride
A living nightmare, we cannot hide

Hips and knees, the battleground
Where once there was strength, now fragility found
Collapse threatens, with every step
Crushing dreams, leaving only regret

Steroids and surgery, desperate pleas
To mend the shattered bones, restore our ease
But time marches on, the clock ticking fast
As hope dwindles, our spirits cast

Avascular necrosis, a cruel disease
Painful, relentless, bringing unease
Bones crumble and weaken, with every stride
A living nightmare, we cannot hide

Through pain and despair, we search for light
A glimmer of hope, to guide us through the night
Support from loved ones, a beacon of grace
In the darkest of times, a compassionate embrace

Acceptance finds its way, a bittersweet embrace
Living with limitations, finding a new space
Adaptive aids and assistive care
Empowering us to live, despite the despair

Avascular necrosis, a cruel disease
Painful, relentless, bringing unease
Bones crumble and weaken, with every stride
A living nightmare, we cannot hide

In the face of adversity, we rise
With resilience and strength, we compromise
Avascular necrosis may dim our light
But our spirit burns bright, defying the night
