Angelica Panganiban shared that she was suffering from a rare bone disease, which caused her not to be able to walk properly.
In her vlog, Angelica disclosed that she had avascular necrosis, which caused bones to collapse.
She narrated that the symptoms of her condition started to appear during her pregnancy.
“Nagtanong-tanong ako sa mga doktor, and friends ko na naging mommy na rin and lahat naman sila sinasabi na it’s part of pregnancy. So nung nanganak ako, wala nakong time na pansinin yung mga masakit sa akin,” she said.
However, even after her pregnancy, Angelica experienced the same symptoms, which prompted her to seek medical help.
According to her, she rejected the initial suggestion of doctors to have a joint replacement procedure, but she decided to take another approach to address her condition.
“Namatay na yung mga bones ko sa balakang. Kaya pala hirap na ako maglakad. Nung una ang sabi sa akin ay surgery, parang joint replacement na parang nakakatakot pakingan. So naghanap ako ng doctor na magkakaron ng conservative approach,” she said.
“So bumalik kami sa pagsaksak ng PRP sa hips ko. This time, nag drill sila ng hole. Ininject nila yung PRP directly doon sa dead bone. Masakit ba yung procedure? Di ko inakala masakit sya. Tulo ng tulo yung luha ko. Nakaramdam ako ng awa sa sarili ko na bakit ako, bakit sa akin nangyari ito,” she added.
