non erosive

[Guest guest]

what I meant about non erosive was that when they did an x ray on the joints

there was no degeneration, he joint looked normal on the xray.

That was when I was younger but I spoke to my mum last night and she said that I

definetly did have Still's because my blood work up and all the other signs of

Stills I had. I spoke to my Rheumy nurse when I had an xray on my shoulders

(which are always swollen and crunch when I move them) and the x ray showed no

degeneration. I said to her well my shoulders are really bad and she knew they

were swollen because she had seen them Xrays don't always tell the whole story

and you really need an mri to determine if there was any degeneration. In fact

I had an mri on my right knee and it showed extensive degeneration (the joint

was really damaged) but on the xray it showed up as normal. So it shows yet

again these tests they do on us don't always tell the whole story!!!!!
