Had MRI scan of my hips today at Addenbrookes. Letter said Rt hip, but pain in my left hip, so after some discussion scanned both! Short notice as only received letter on Thursday. Due back again for clinic on Friday, when I hope scan results will be available and blood test results from Tuesday, to see how I'm doing after first few weeks on Azathioprine. At least we get 2 visits to car park on one ticket. Looking forward to AGM tomorrow.

I've had pain in my hips on and off for several years, but my left hip has become much worse lately, although it was before I started on Azathioprine. I was diagnosed with Wegeners (GPA) in October 2012, but had obviously had it for at least 12 - 18 months before then.
