Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi all, sorry I just asked a question first without a proper indroduction. My name is Inga and I have been suffering with various joint degenerative processes, over about 15 years. Now FINALLY think I may be getting closer to a definative diagnosis. Now hands seem to be getting severly inflammed, wrists and thumbs especially.I have DDD and DJD so severe in spine and knees I have had to quit working as a LPN of 27 years and seek Social Security Disability, turned down on the first try, now in appeal .Its ben so hard to get the docs to nail down a diagnosis.Now an orthopedic MD says she thinks I have inflammatory arthritis despite the negative RFs, thanks for any info you can share with me .Inga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
