Exray taken and shown to me.

Knee has arthritis in lower leg, shows all white. Side view looks like bone on bone. But the nurse showed it to me. She can't understand why my dexta taking so long. Feel much better knowing arthritis and nothing more serious, couldn't see the swelling on exray, but on side of leg. Mind boggles. No mention of MRI on form. So exray will do fine. New to me I was given a massage to go on line, and can see my exray so my daughter can see it as well. What ever next

Glad to hear that the X-Ray had clear findings. Depending on your status, you may be a candidate for hyaluronic acid injections into the knees. These have been a huge help for me. The last time I used the newer version, Durolane, which is a single injection that is supposed to last longer. This treatment restores my knees to full function. I am hoping to prevent the need to consider a knee replacement. So far it is working.

Glad to hear the images are available on your patient portal. All of my records are available that way. Perhaps you can find your DEXA images that way. If they cannot locate your DEXA scan images, suggest you insist they redo them ASAP.

Wishing you all the best.
