http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090601182920.htmI've been really lucky for someone with as erosive of disease that I have had for so long. To quote my favorite surgeon..."you know why I like you, You have great bone stock"  I'm never letting him set me up on a blind date...but its good to know for  health purposesInteresting article...which prompted me to take the poll on how many people with RA are also prescribed osteoarthritis medication.Well... I looked this up because back in 2006 my then RD took x-rays of my hands. On the report it said I had low bone density on my right hand.

 
Then I got MRIs of my hands June 2nd 2009, and it said I had erosions on the knuckles of my right hand. I am not sure where the low bone density was in my right hand on the xray.
 
I go for a dexa scan July 28th.
