Xray and MRI
Good morning everyone, happy windy Friday.
I'm still processing my condition. I spoke to the hospital receptionist who told me my results are being typed up and I should get my letter by early next week. My GP has given me an overview of the results but I just want to see it in full detail.
I was wondering if it was normal that I had a xray on my hip in July 21 which showed there was nothing wrong, but my MRI in January 22 showed osteoarthritis in both hips? I think this is why it's such a shock to get this diagnosis. I honestly thought my problems where muscular and they weren't going to find anything. This is what my xray results said:
XR Pelvis :
No destructive bone lesion , fracture or joint arthropathy identified. The sacrum and sacroiliac joints are intact. The innominate bones are normal.
Is this unusual?

It doesn't strike me as totally unusual. OA can come on quite suddenly and not show much at first. Plus MRIs show more stuff than x-rays. Keep doing the exercises and keep it at bay. Good luck!
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Thanks. I love the swimming. It's the only time I feel like my old self. I can move freely with minimum pain. I'm addicted to it. It really has helped to stabalise my legs.
