Well, I guess I still dont know very much. He did say yes you have
arthrits. He took tons of blood, a ton of xrays and a bone and joint
scan. My next appointment is on the 6th and he said then he will be
able to tell me exactly which arthritis I have. On the bone and joint
scan the only thing I could see myself w/o knowing anything about it is
that my right hip and knee which hurt the worse were brighter on the
screen than t he other side and seemed to show more detail. The tech
wouldnt tell me anything..... said the dr. would look at it. I know
there not supposed to say anything, but i sure did try! The last three
days havent been all that great around here, its been rainin pretty
much non stop and I think that sets me off.... My wrist swole up on me
the other day and I got a knot on it, I never did that before... I
couldnt use my hand almost all day... its better now, not sure what
that was, I thought tunnel carple but would that make a knot? It was
almost like one of my muscles balled up it was very uncomfortable and
painful.... anyways... I didnt wannna complain, just an update I said I
would fill yall in on my first visit... but i think the next one is
gonna be the more pivital one... Thanks for listening.....

Hi Linda,
You aren't complaining, for gosh sakes! It sure is hard waiting for the test results. I'm waiting for some myself and those techs aren't allowed to tell us anything. They sure can be stubborn
You poor thing...I'm glad you got to see your RD. Hopefully all will be settled soon. Sounds like you may have had an RA nodule. But I'm no RD.
Aww hunny you aren't complaining at all. We all understand the frustration and pain of ra. We are here for venting purposes!!! I hope that rain stops soon for you!!
Carpel Tunnel was one of the first symptoms of RA for me. It can be very painful. I'll look forward to your post on the 6th. Good luck!
