Had to go get the wheatpacks warmed up as the knees feel like Death himself is having a grope... Never knew he was gay? :???: Maybe that explains the cape :shock:

So, Tony, you’re at least armed with a bit more info for the appointment on the 18th. Hope it all leads somewhere positive and a bit less painful.

PS Unlike tkachev, given the choice between PA and OA I would opt for OA every time. No foul meds to take (that don't do much anyway) and perhaps some shiny new joints at some point. No contest. Typically human, yes? We always want what we don't have![/quote]

R.A for me every time cos I have no pain in my knees now(apart from recently with no Humira) so at least they got better without any operation or joint replacements Joint replacements need replacing eventually but I get your point about the meds.

I am glad you have at last got some answers and hopefully something will be sorted for you on the 18th meds wise to stop that nasty pain.
Good luck for then and will be with you on the 18th

just a quick post before I go watch stuff...
I phoned the fella and left so message, he rang me back earlier, as well as the inflammation in both knees the left one has chondrocalcinosis, pseudo gout I think.. It's the word I couldn't remember earlier on..
Lol
Not surprising with a word like that though eh?
So possibly RA with a bit of crystal wotsits build up thrown in for good measure..
Lol
Thanks yet again to everyone.. Appreciate it.. A lot...

Catch you all later on...

PS.. Comp.. I'll never lose my sense of humour.... Not while ever I'm talking to you bunch of loons.. Haha

julie47

no wonder you couldn't remember those words....They were rather long.
how many words can be made out of chondrocalcinosis i wonder.....going for a pen and paper.
Enjoy tv and your evening

Thanks Ladies, one has to keep on dancing eh? Lol
As for the longest name, I did have Osteochondritis Dessicans before :shock: I thought that is what it might be if it wasn't OA.. Shows what I know, haha...

Katie, hope that you are ok hun...

dreamdaisy

To me 'calcinosis' hints at calcium related things - time to hit Wiki and discount at least 80% of info! I guess the chondro is the cartilage/ligament component, that's where you have had problems before with the dessicans. Oooooh, I am off to find out stuff! DD

traluvie

Hi Tony

Delayed reaction here lol.. sorry
Glad you finally have some answers,
Lets hope they start sorting you out so you feel a bit more comfortable..
Wish you well.

woodbon

Hi, Well, at least you know now. I have heard of it but don't know much about it! :roll: Can you have any treatment or drugs for it? I hope so, as we need to keep you dancing!!! Love Suexxxx

tjt6768

I will always keep dancing, lol...

Detective DD is on the case for me, I should know more within the day :shock: Bless ya hun, I wouldn't know what I was looking at or what to believe... You are right about the calcium bit, I know that much..

Tracey, thanks hun, hope you are ok... Will read your thread next..
Wondered where you had been..

Keep on smiling folks...
