Hi folks,

Am back, sorry it's been a while, I've had a lot going on this last couple of months.

Over this time, I've had plenty of pushing and prodding done, on which am still waiting to get my hernia done, on which was confirmed in Feb 14, but ye still waiting for op.

Just recently I've been diagnosed as to having arthritis, am unsure what sort I have. The gp I saw was a locom, not great at the job, said you had a blood test done the other week, it's came back to positive with arthritis. That was it.....

Am going to go back to my docs once my own gp comes back, get the proper answer.

Hope everyone is ok, catch up wi you soon.

Joe x

Hi Joe 69, you sound a little confused. If you had a positive blood result for arthritis then it must be a systemic one or inflammatory not osteo. But as you say you will have to go back as there are many kinds of arthritis. The hernia is another matter I just had one done 2 and a half years after diagnosis and only then because it had become an emergency. Hope you had a good weekend and will soon have all the health issues sorted even if not cured.
