Hi all

Sorry newbie query

I had a letter yesterday for an appointment at rheumatology, the appointment is for a 'metrology' clinic. I'm expecting an appointment for the rheumatology nurse and wondered if this might be it but have no idea what metrology is.

    Just googled it and it says it's the science of measurement, if that helps any.

    I'd guess (and it's only a guess) that they're trying to assess your pain levels / disease activity. I think it will be painless :wink:

    Thank you both

    If it is painful I will be sure to let the nurse know :lol:

    Thanks again
