Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi, I'm new to the list but not exactly to arthritis. I was diagnosed with OA in one hip, and then in the other a year later. Last summer, both hips seemed to go out, and now I walk like a penguin with arthritis. I had to buy my own insurance this past June, and I switched my PCP. My new one doubted that I had arthritis, and so did a neurologist and rheumatologist. Last week I saw another neurologist (this one's four blocks from my house, and the subways are getting difficult), and she said I did have arthritis. So, three doctors say I do and three say I don't. I called my primary today and she sounded a bit hesitant, saying that she hadn't yet evaluated my information. It seems like arthritis to me. The age of onset fits, and I have pains just about everywhere one bone connects to another. I am waiting to hear more, and I'll be having a third MRI in about three weeks. Hopefully, I'll know what's going on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
