Question

I have AVN stage 2 in my left hip and stage 3 in my right hip and getting conflicting advice from doctors - one says core decompression won't help at all and I'll need hip replacements eventually, another suggests core decompression with grafting might work but can't guarantee it, and a third is pushing for core decompression with stem cell therapy as the latest option but also with no guarantees. What's the best path forward when the opinions are so different?
