An update!

zechariah

Hi all,

I saw the consultant last week and he is testing to see if it is an inflamatary arthritis as well as OA, I have had bloods taken and I am going in for day stay to have some biopsies taken from the synovium!

It makes sense as I am still in heaps of pan after the TKR last March and so this may be the answer!

I hope you are all as pain free as possible

Hi zechariah & good to see you posting again

I hope that whatever they do to you (it sounds a bit intense :eek: ) will come up with some answers for you .... and a new treatment plan that will help with the pain.

best of luck!

Hi Zachariah,
Well that sounds more proactive for you. Fingers crossed that you get some answers soon.
Let us know how you go on.

I wonder why the biopsy? Anyhoo, let us know how it goes, please, and what the outcome is. I know it's possible to have both sorts of arthritis (ie auto-immune and osteo) but that does seem like a very unlucky straw to draw - you won't be the first, or the last on that front, methinks! Good luck, zechariah. DD
