Mamogram and RA | Arthritis Information

WEll I had the mamogram today for the mass and nodules.....They said that the size of all was the same and can see why I am having problems. Whatever that means.They will send a report to the Dr.'s I specified. Dr. Cox and Dr. Siwik.

So I guess/assume I am forming the nodules again. Best that I get on some meds I spose. I will see about getting an earlier appt. than in May.

It is what it is.

Much HugsSorry the info they gave you wasnt more clear and hopefully your doctors appointment will shed some more light. Let us know when you get to see the doctors ( definetely try and get an earlier appointment)Hope u get some answers soon.may be a dumb question, but am I reading your post correctly and you can get nodules in your breasts?Thanks so much.....and Cathy, I dunno. I have had a prob with my left breast, plus swollen glands. THe swollen glands I get for some reason, my RD typically placed me on antibiotics. WIth my Michigan state insurance,( very grateful for that) I get minimal health care from only certain Dr.'s which BTW: when I went in for my mamogram they insisted it was for a DX on the Right breast.....I had to correct them and say no, the left one...you will see when you look at mamamogram.

So these particular Dr.'s are evidentally rushed and do not know me from a hole in the ground, nor do they probably care.

NExt step is Rheumatology, because as many you may already know, not many Dr.'s will help DX without talking to your RD.

I will see what happens after the RD visit.

ALthough my xhusband is relieved that it is not cancer ( yes we are civil and friends but that is it) we still do not know what it is other than an extremely painful and swollen "lefty".

These are truly the times when I wished Tim was still around, he was good at helping me handle stuff like this.
