Nodal OA

woodbine

Hello,
Some of us on the Living with Arthritis board have been discussing Nodal OA, and especially the fact that it confuses GPs because of having some properties of RA, like inflamation, but not showing anything in blood tests. (The thread is called 'As any one else been like this')

There doesn't seem to be a huge amount on the site about this form of OA - or if there is, I can't find it, it may just be me! I was just wondering if you have or can get hold of any info on it, or know where I could look. It would be helpful, both to know more about it myself, and to show to my GP who doesn't seem to know anything about it.

Thanks in advance

Naomi
