How to get diagnosed

johnfish

I have been to the doctors previously and they sent me for X-rays, but the doctor said that if they found arthritis they will not contact me as there is nothing the can treat it with, can anyone help me with some information please.

Hi @johnfish,

Welcome to the versus arthritis forum.

If you are diagnosed with arthritis then there are many ways in which the condition can be managed.

On our website you'll find lots of information about living with arthritis and things you can do to minimise the impact on your daily routine. Here's a link:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/newly-diagnosed/

When you receive your diagnosis I suggest you look at articles on the above website link relevant to your results and then perhaps make another post here on the forum to gain input from other forum members.

Good luck with your results.

Best wishes

The X-rays specialists write a very detailed report of everything they've seen in your x-rays. If you don't have any call from them and you feel you want to know more, get an appointment with your GP and ask them for the report. They could even show you the x-ray image. Good luck
