I have had terrible pains in my hips knees shoulder and feet, after numerous trips to th doc he referred me to a specialist who told me I had osteoarthritis in my knees so did further tests and xrays on my hands and feet, the results have come today and all my bloods are normal it says xrays show mild osteoarthritis only, I still have to go next week for ultrasound on my hands but what do they mean mild osteoarthritis only? It makes me feel like im making up the ammount of pain im in up, it affects me allot I cant walk far or drive far depending what iv done throughout the day dictates if I will be in to much pain to sleep im so fed up I feel like im constantly moaning and because I look ok I dont think people understand the pain im in :-(
