Update - spinal steroid injections, waiting for pain to go

Had the injections for lumbar disc degeneration & facet arthropathy a few days ago. A mixture of wear & tear & inflammatory arthritis, probably an RA involvement which I have. Gentle walking & lying on my side still provides the only relief.

I need some input

proximal bilateral SV involvement pending final radiology read, prolaris 5.2, Bone scan with nonspecific uptake in the anterior right 3rd and 4th rib suspicious for neoplasm but could potentially be prior fracture as well as focal nonspecific uptake in the posterior spine of T7, suspicious for facet arthropathy

Rheumatology appointment

He has done some more bloods and has asked for an MRI of neck as I have bilateral severe facet arthropathy in my lower spine. Not a great experience...

Cervical Spine X-ray

I have left C2/C3 arthropathy; I had an awful left sided neck flare up 2 weeks ago. They didn't do an x-ray when I went to Aand E. The x-ray was done today (flare up has calmed down!). The neck ('cervical spine') x-ray was done with while I was standing up. They did a few with my mouth open.

"Minimal broad-based disc bulge as well as mild bilateral facet arthropathy with ligament of flavum hypertrophy. Findings are indenting thecal sac and causing mild bi-lateral neural foraminal stenosis. Please advise.

Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD)

AOSD can also have serious systemic complications including serositis, chronic arthropathy, and macrophage activation syndrome. Late carpal ankylosis occurs in approximately 25% of patients and represents a distinct clinical feature differentiating AOSD from rheumatoid arthritis.

Jaccoud Arthropathy and SLE

Has anyone on the forum been diagnosed with Jaccoud Arthropathy? I'd never heard of the condition until I began researching the changes to the joints in my hands. I have several lumpy joints, in the thumb joints and first joint of index and second fingers.

Advice on seropositive RA for my 12 year old daughter, really worried.

The MRI says likely diagnosis of seropositive arthropathy (arthritis). Basically this is rheumatoid arthritis in children. I'm waiting for the results of her blood tests and I've been crying all weekend (on my own and I know it doesn't help matters). I am SO worried.

Living with PsA and using the Social Model of Disability and meditation as coping mechanisms

I was not diagnosed as having Psoriatic Arthropathy (PsA) until about 20 years ago but I'm pretty sure it would explain why, back in the late 1950s, when I first started school, I couldn't sit cross-legged on the floor like all the other kids in class (and later, all the other physical things that non-disabled

Jaccouds arthropathy

Hi I am trying to find a site about Jaccouds arthropathy. I have been diagnosed with this condition which, apparently can happen in SLE patients. It is mainly hand deformation. I would like to find out more on this subject.

New doctor, new (temporary) diagnosis

So he thinks I have Osteoarthritis and Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease, also known as pseudogout and pyrophosphate arthropathy.

Finally found out

Also in the same area in the same area that facet arthropathy is present. There's also Mild bilateral hip joint space loss as well. It also showed Mild to moderate degenertive disc disease and facet arthropathy. My neurologist has recommended me to go through physical therapy for this.

Just anxiety they said..

Mild facet arthropathy. My lumbar has spondylosis, scoliosis, and bulging discs. If you have concerns about your health, go to your doctor and express them. DEMAND that you get tests. If they don’t offer any, go to a new doctor. It’s their job to help and test you.

Presumed sero neg arthropathy

Was 'presumed sero neg arthropathy' just a catch-all, fob-u-off diagnosis? Am I truly back in the camp of "we just don't know?"

cmt interfere with work?

I had surgery almost a year ago to reconstruct my foot that fell apart due to "chariot arthropathy". Basically, as I understand it, because of the disconnected relaying of info from my brain to my foot; the bones in my foot became saturated blood taking on the consistency of butter.

Rashes, Rheumys and Really Ratty Part II!

There were no features of active inflammatory arthropathy. She is very flexible in her spine and in her elbows. There were no features of peripheral arthropathy. Sacroiliac and hip joint examinations were normal.
