Hello i am new

Carolannf

Hi i am awaiting a proper diagnosis, had joint pains for a longtime, now little finger cannot be used too painful, my ankles are painful with my toes and left shoulder. I had an xray done recently and they found i had subcondrial cysts on my pubic symphysis, my GP said then i must have arthritis of some kind still having tests. I also have emphysema.

Hi @Carolannf and welcome to the Versus Arthritis forum. 

I note that you have pain in several joints, subcondrial cysts and emphysema. 

Whilst subcondrial cysts can be associated with OA, in searching our website for information that might be relevant I couldn’t find anything specific but I hope that the following links may be useful:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/conditions/osteoarthritis-oa-of-the-elbow-and-shoulder/

If may also be worth your while browsing our website for advice on pain relief.

I hope that other forum members who have had similar experiences are able to provide you with some useful feedback. Good luck with your test results. 

Best Wishes
