hi everyone i have just come back from seeing the consultant again with jordan today and his imflamation markers are up again :( it was very busy there in the adults clinic not the childs so didn't see the same dr or nurse practitioner i take it that it's not a good sign but they did say the other tests were ok .Could someone tell me what these markers mean :oops: he has to continue with the diclofenic and they will look at him again in 2 months unless he has a flare up then i just have to phone and they will fit him in he still has to go to physio so they will keep an eye on him as well as he still has restricted movement on the left hand side but that is where he gets the majority of pain.Now they are watching his knees and ankles cause they are sore to :( could that be why his markers are raised :?: any info would be useful thanks everyone.

    hi not ever so sure but i have slightly raised inflimation and it can cause swelling and pains in joints there can be lots of causes so they will be watching him to see what causeing it and stopping any damage to joints good luck sounds like they r taking good care of him it takes weeks for the meds to kick in so that why u waiting to go back
