...the day I finally manage to persuade my doctor to x-ray my painful hip that has been hurting for nigh on 4 years, my hip stops hurting and my shoulder starts up?
It reminds me of the time I went to see an infertility doctor, only to be told I was pregnant. Or the time I stayed in all day for a delivery, only to miss the guy when I popped out to the garden for 5 minutes.
My hip's been relatively OK ever since. Which is both good and annoying. The shoulder is playing Hokey-Cokey (in, out, in, out, shake it all about) but nothing new there. So all in all, its a slightly irritating mystery.
Or is arthritis one of those things that likes to disappear when you look at it, kind of like ninjas?

Its sods law rule 36 I think but the x-ray will still show whats there and the underlying problem there so its not all lost.
I hope that it will back off for you for a while and also that the x-ray results will help get some decent treatment.
We tell folks to take pics of the swelling etc in case its not there when they are seen and also to keep a pain diary as it can help again when you see the consultant. nice to meet you and welcome to the forums Cris x
PS Just to save tjt the typing - of course the appointment was for 2.30.

Tis s*ds law for sure :roll:
Mind as Cris (skezier) points out, hopefully, any damage will still show.

Ah, if only!
I feel a cure coming on. The newly patented Zap-a-Pain glasses. For sale on this forum. Triple lenses for gazing at three joints at once. You heard it here first, folks. Warning - do not look directly at family members while wearing the glasses (apart from the really annoying ones).
Oooh, Sticky, can I buy a pair???
