Went to Ortho today | Arthritis Information

Well for the foot he said the exray shows arthritis but to see the foot doctor. He ordered MRI of right shoulder and both knees. He is worried about a rotary cuff tear. Anyway he said he had to check for tears before he could give me a shot in it. He was like wow are you taken anything for this arthritis. He seemed very concerned. I like doctors that are concerned. Makes me feel like i am being taken care of. I can dream about some relief.

So Friday i see the ears nose and throat and then go over to get the MRI's. Then see the foot doctor tuesday, then wednesday i see the ortho again. Guess i am just high mantanace. LOL Good news is it's all two blocks away at the out patient clinic at the hospital. So i should get a head to toe make over eventually. I am badly in need of a tube for my ear or ears. They close up on me alot. Well at least i am trying. Hopfully it will help a little.

Well for the foot i of course knew that it had arthritis. It is swollen. But the nurse at RD office said the exrays are fine. And at that moment i could not walk. So i just called the ortho. I was tired of the games and the waiting for people to get back from vacation. So i will have a good education of how i am structurally holding up from this disease by next Wednesday.

Well Milly, it's one step closer to there. Sounds like you have a good Dr.Where is the edit button? They keep changing things? ANyway. I meant tares not tears. Oh well to many pain pills. LOLI am glad that you have a doctor who is focused on what you are going through, and getting you better! Good luck with everything!Good luck milly, I hope you do not have a rotator cuff tear. It is a rehab from the surgery. I had 36 Physical therapy visits to rehab mine after a repair. Let me know if you end up having to get a surgery. I have helpful suggestions. Shoulder pain is very painful. Pain pills are a definate. I would also Ice helpswith pain. Doesnt fix it but helps alot.

Take care

Thanks. LOL My life requires pain pills. Well I muddled threw for years but scince October of 2007 I have been taking pain pills, and prednisone. I really hope i do not have a rotary cuff tare. I have heard that is a long process. Of course i can not use my shoulder and it hurts so how could it get any worse? It scares me to think of surgery with swelling in the joint. That would be pretty awful. But i will take all the help you wish to offer. I will let you know.
