And mild degree of sclerotic s1 nurve??????????ta much x

[Calceolaria]

SI might mean sacroiliac joint. Mild sclerotic I think might mean a slight degree of hardening. You do need to ask your doc to go through your scan with you properly. The question you posted here Louise, you need to ask your doctor. Looking at separate parts of the scan is not always helpful and someone needs to be able to read the meaning of the whole picture. A GP isnt necessarily the best person to interpret scans and i would have hoped your rheumatologist had done that. She will be writing to your GP after your recent appointment. Did you ask for a copy of the letter ? Best wishes.

I posted this in your other thread too........................

Do you mean the S1 joint as in the lower spine joint or sacroileac joint? Sclerosis in bones is an unusual increase in density and hardening of the bones. It is characterised by thickening, hardening or increase in density mainly caused by injuries that constrict bones, for instance, osteoarthritis.This seems fitting with your spine problems.

Hard to know without seeing the whole report, and even then we aren't doctors here. You would need to ask the rheumatologist. If you can't get to see them, ask your GP to find out from the rheumatologist what is going on with it, and whether there is any sign of inflammatory disease there. (don't just ask they GP what they think, as they won't know enough)
