a quick update. Leeds phoned today - my esr and crp are still normal.!?! I think Synovitis means swelling around bones and joints...synovial fluid. I have tenyosynovitis which is swelling containing synovial fluid in the tendon sheath on my wrist. I'm sorry Julie you are having a rough time. I would love for my rhuemy to tell me nothing was wrong and everything was normal but then again I would hate to know I have something wrong but not knowing what was wrong.. I understand your anger and confusion. I hope you get answers or relief soon Julie, truly I do. Jackie
I still have a low white cell count (I think this is why the other
tests are normal) and they are testing my anti ccp because they
obviously don't believe me. They said they are not prepared to
treat me unless they can detect signs of synovitis. Well today I
think I've noticed that my feet feel more kinda spongy - don't know if
I'm imagining it. Wayney - I wish I lived close to you so I could
bring you round to my Rheumy. I'm so annoyed at these people just
now.
Hey Julie...wish I could help you out...what is "synovitis"?? The spongy feeling in your feet, could you be retaining water? Or maybe swelling?? Sorry I'm not much help Synovitis is when the lining of your joints are inflammed - I think
that's what's happening in my feet now. Before I could feel bone
but now it's kinda spongy where the joints hurt - oh well maybe they'll
believe me now.
Maybe my feet have filled up with all the green tea I've been drinking
