Angelica Panganiban is suffering from a bone disease called avascular necrosis or "bone death."
Angelica Panganiban () opened up about her health struggle in her latest vlog she uploaded on November 18.
According to Angelica, she found out in a recent medical test that she was suffering from avascular necrosis.
She shared on her vlog, “Nagpa-MRI ako and lumabas 'yung results ko na meron pala ako avascular necrosis.
She went on to explain her health condition, “So, avascular necrosis is bone death, namatay na 'yung bones ko sa aking balakang kaya pala hirap na ako maglakad. Talagang 'yung mobility ko hindi nasosolusyunan, kahit pa ano'ng gawin kong strengthening.”
According to hopkinsmedicine.org, avascular necrosis is a disease that results from the temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to the bone. When blood supply is cut off, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses. If avascular necrosis happens near a joint, the joint surface may collapse.
This condition may happen in any bone.

Angelica mentioned that the treatment for her cpondition is called platelet-rich plasma or PRP.
“Ang tanging solusyon niya ay noong una ang sinabi sa akin is surgery. Parang joint replacement na nakakatakot pakinggan. So, naghanap ako ng doctor na magkakaroon ng conservative approach. So, bumalik kami sa pagsaksak ng PRP (platelet-rich plasma) sa hips ko, but this time, nag-drill sila ng hole, ininject nila 'yung PRP directly dun sa dead bone ko.”
“Masakit ba 'yung procedure? Hindi ko inakala masakit siya tulo ng tulo 'yung luha ko. Para bang, kahit papaano nakaramdam ako ng awa sa sarili ko na: Bakit ako nagkakaganito? Bakit sa akin nangyari ito?”
The fiancée of business Gregg Homan added that her disease can be caused by steroids, which she stressed, was never part of her lifestyle.
“Kasi ang cause ng avascular necrosis ay steroids abused. Kung mapapansin n'yo na naman never lumaki 'yung katawan ko [laughs]. Never nga ako nagka-muscle sa buong katawan ko. So, hindi siya part ng lifestyle ko, hindi naman ako athlete. Hindi naman ako body-builder.”
Despite the hardship that she is going through right now, Angelica is keeping her spirits up that she will eventually heal soon, now that they were able to pinpoint the root cause of her extreme pain.
“Kahapon siya ginawa, so wala pang 24 hours 'yung nangyaring procedure sa akin. Naka-bed rest ako, kung mapapansin n'yo, obvious ba? Ako ay nasa bed, minimal movements lang. So, para 'tong mga first stage ng pregnancy ko, noong first trimester like bed rest lang.
“I'm staying positive. Sabi nila, mas malakas maka-heal ang mind, so, iniisip ko na magaling na ako. Iniisip ko na eto na 'yung solusyon sa pain na nararamdaman ko. Halos isang taon na guys, since January nararamdaman ko 'to. 'Yung masakit na masakit na ah!
“Patuloy ang pagiging positive na matatapos na 'yung kalbaryo dito sa nararamdaman ko, dahil finally napin-point namin kung ano talaga 'yung sakit ko.”
“I just can't believe na kumbaga at the age of 37 nagkaroon ako ng bone death. There was something dead inside me. I'm hoping na mabilis 'yung recovery ko, hopefully makapag-trabaho na uli ako next year [2024].”
