Saw my rheumatologist today & finally had a breakdown. I was told I do have a form of arthritis but not sure which 1 as there is no inflammation, so was given a steroid injection. I've got 2 hope it takes pain away as that proves there is inflammation. Keep ur fingers crossed peeps

I'm sorry that you are in pain, & I hope the steroid shot helps. I understand the frusteration of not knowing what type of arthritis you have. My diagnosis changed 4x over the last 4 years. I discovered in the long run, it doesn't matter the name of the Arthritis, just as long as you are being treated. All 4 of my different diagnosies used the same medications. Anyways, it's ok to have a good cry every now and then...it's a great stress releaser.

It’s always a difficult time , pre diagnosis but I think as cherub pointed out, in the end , the important thing is securing the appropriate treatment.

Keep your chin up and I wish you the very best going forward.
