Well that sounds like a better appointment Paul. Glad it went well.

yep ta kittyj but cant for life of me understand why he didn't get blood tested when it was raging inside me well to late now

So, as I understand it no diagnosis but the Rheumy's arranging bloods & a steroid injection? Also you're to have a scan. I suppose you'll then be sent another appointment once tests & imaging are back?

Did she give any indication what she thought might be going on? I would think she's confident you have inflammation given you're to have a steroid injection. It's the timing of it though, you need it when you have inflammation but you need that inflammation for her to see just what's going on & how bad it is when you have the scan.

What did she make of your thermal heat gun? Was it the same Rheumy?

i think it was not sure told me to put my gun away wasnt interested well you can only try yes your right next flare got to go to docs get blood taken and injection

[nomoreheels in reply to pauluk60]

Well, straight down to your GP then next time.

Will you trust us now when you have an idea that a Rheumy won't consider a good one? We know how they diagnose, what they look for in order to do so. 😉

All the best Paul.

must have missed this all i can say how i felt at the time i knew the first time that some was going on different than oa hopefully its calmed at the the moment but still getting spikes and twitches but nowt serious i believe in my own intuition with my body and so far not been far out

[nomoreheels in reply to pauluk60]

Sometimes your intuition is correct. Let's just hope those spikes & twitches stay just that.
