New to Group: Have Scleritis & Joint Pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

I am new to this group...don't think my first post came through.

Anyways, I have just been diagnosed with having scleritis in my left

eye. Has anyone else had scleritis? This is my 4th time, so my

Opthamologist wants me to see a Rheumatologist. He said it is like

arthritis of the eye. Funny thing is, I've been having a lot of joint

pain in my elbows, ankles and sometimes fingers and knees. I'd really

appreciate any insight. My primary care physician has already ordered

a battery of labwork (that I had done on Tuseday). How long does it

typically take for the labs?

Thanks again for your help!
