Is It True That There S Nothing To Be Done For Vascular Necrosis In My Kneecap After A Knee Replacement?

I had a total knee replacement 2 years ago. I am having pain in the upper portion, so my doctor saw me and told me (with an xray) that my kneecap is suffering from a vascular necrosis. He said there is nothing to do except lose weight. Is that true? I have to live with this pain the rest of my life?
