RE: Bobbi and neck

[Guest guest]

You went to the doc and was diagnoised with osteo and he or she didn't

do an x-ray on your neck? What's up with that? I had a flare this

summer and it all started with the spin cycle! Literally! I simply

leaned over onto it when it was off balance on spin and pop out went

the lights. I never felt so bizarre b4. I went to the doc and he

said nothing other than I must have water in my ears? Didn't bother

to look either. 1 month later I ended up at the ER with unreal

vertigo, finally got an x-ray and it showed intracranial calcification

and soft tissue calcification of C3. He reviewed it and said it was

nothing. I ended up in Wyoming when my mom passed and got a 2nd.

opinion and that is whan they found the SSB+. I came back to see my

non certified Neurologist to have him say the masses were nothing and

didn't bother me? What? Uh, dah that is why I'm here. The CT scan

showed the same and he ordered a MRI to see if I might of had a

hemorrage and while they did the MRI that my insurance won't cover

they didn't even bother to look at the disks, etc... I have spurs,

etc... I think you should request one especially with osteo being

mentioned! WOW!!!! Where do they get these guys? Good luck! Kim

Okay, I thought it was kind of odd as well that the Rheumy didn't

order an Xray. Especially after he said that my GP should have had

one done when I first went in with Neck pain over a month ago. So

if he thought the GP should have done one, why didn't HE? Good

Question. I was so upset though about my lab results

saying " NEGATIVE " after a month of being told they were Hight

Elevated that I didn't ask all the questions I should have asked. I

had my list all printed out, but they were all in reference to RA.

So your opinion guys, is it okay for me to wait 6 wks for the

xrays? Or not even have them at all? I mean, if the pain goes away

with NSAID, do I NEED to have an Xray? I know you're not Dr's just

asking for your 2 cents.

Thanks Guys
