Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 X-ray or MRI to see how the inflammation is actually affecting the joints, if you haven't already had that done. I had mine done about six months ago and fortunately there has not been extensive joint damage. On the other hand, that's a whole different department and you may not feel up to it. I hate doing because it generally add two hours to the visit.

Â Well we had a 4 block walk from the truck to the zoo, no big deal I thought. Â we walked about 3 miles or more around the zoo, these types of walks normally don't bother me. Â I have been having issues with my legs from the knees down since. Â I have had so much pain that i have been taking quarter pieces of percocets just to work. Â Thankfully I go to the doctors tomorrow to meet my new primary doc through kaiser. Â What tests should I ask for since it has been awhile since having blood work done. Â I know to ask for an ANA, RF factor, Sed rate and esr is there anything I might be missing. I originally was going to the nerve issues I had been having the last couple of months so hopefully she will be able to identify that along with the RA issues. Â and then send me to a new RA doc as well. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
