Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hi all; I just wanted to say often x-rays don't show damage until it's far advanced. My doctor has always been careful not to do too many x-rays because of the exposure over the years as it can add up when your talking long term with this disease. Wishing everyone some relaxation this weekend, Melt Re: Hi Guys: Question about treatment/ I did request my joints to be x-rayed because I was worried like you, that they were falling apart. That's what it felt like was happening! Fortunately all the x-rays have come back good each time, but I know that's not the case with many. We x-rayed every 3 months or so for quite a few years to begin with, just to see what was happening. I hope you are able to keep up with x-raying also just for peace of mind.
