Thanks everyone....I have a Rheumatology appt now

Debs42

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all who replied to my last post "new and confused"... I went back to see another GP, she told me heaps more than the last dr, I have narrowing joint space in my right hip, and signs of early OA in my pelvis and more than likely in my spine... It was in my records that i should be referred to a rheumy (last dr never said this to me) so a referral was done there and then, I have an appointment with a rheumatologist on the 19th april 2011 at 3pm....
Just thought i ought to let you all know as you were all so kind and helped with answers...I will let you know how i get on in due course...

Hi debs

that is good news. Glad you went to a gp that actually explained your condition and made the appointment straight away for you.

I hope your app with the rhumos goes well and that the meds you get make a massive improvement to your condition.

Take care

Well done for moving things on and getting a better understanding.Try to write a list of the many questions you will have as it helps better than having to rack your brains at the time.

I am so pleased for you

Nice to know that this forums and it's members have helped you get sorted.

Glad the GP helped to explain so you feel better informed and hope the rhumatologist will be able to help
