Ive read that anyone with RA is also at risk of secondary OA.
Just wondered if I should start taking Glucosamine now in case in the
future I get the secondary OA. My mum has OA so it could also be
a family risk factor. Anna
RA since 04/93
taking MTX and Celebrex
mY rHEUMY DID A SOME TYPE OF TEST ORIGINALLY WHEN I FIRST WENT TO SEE HER FOR OA. MINE CAME BACK FINE BUT I THINK YOU HAVE TO TAKE THESE EVERY FEW YEARS TO CHECK ON IT. IVE HEARD THAT PREDNISONE CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH OA OVER TIME. Karen, thanks for your reply. Next time I see rheumy I will speak with her. Wishing you well, Anna
