Subject: Finally Got A New Diagnosis !!
Okay so after the ' diagnosis ' of Inflammatory Arthritis a year ago and giving the Hydroxy a go with no benefit I had an Isotope scan a coupe of weeks ago. The Rhuemie said today I was MISDiagnosed with IA and it's Osteoarthritis of the spine,hips,hands and feet along with Fibromyalgia [ I have deep muscle pain in the top of my legs and feel like I've got flu coming on all the time]. So peeps it's good news for me, at least I actually know what's up now. Although I don't walk very well use a stick and have to wear an Orthotic brace on my ankle at least I know [ hopefully ] it might not get any worse. Hope you are all okay and pain free ;0)

Hi kay, glad you have finally got the right diagnosis, at least now you know exactly what you are dealing with. As you know I have PA but have just been told I also have osteoarthritis of the hips, I also have to use a stick to help me walk better. Hope you are not to bad at the moment, and did you manage to get a new ankle brace? hope so and I hope you are keeping well. Take Care. x

Oh you are lovely thank you girls. S yes I consider myself very lucky to have Osteo and not Inflammatory. It's odd though as I do get swelling of the fingers and feet and 1 knee ? Lynn I hopefully get the new ankle brace next week I know they are cutting down with stuff in the NHS . Anyway have got an appointment for the Orthotics/mobility dept of the Hospital. Sorry to hear about your hips :0(
