what kind of inflammatory arthritis?

[Guest guest]

I've been told I have probable pannus at c1-c2. I'm only 37 and the

doctors think I have some type of inflammatory arthritis. Other

than a positive ANA test for serveral years, my blood work shows

normal. My symptoms began when in my late 20's....and has gone down

hill ever since.

I've had a partial knee replacement and will be having hip surgery

in February for a labrum tear and FAI.

I also had surgeries for compartment syndrome a few years ago. An

MRI showed inflammation in my lower legs and the only relief I got

was surgery to release the compartments.

I think the inflammation in my lower legs causing compartment

syndrome, loss of cartilage in my knee, FAI and tear in my hip, and

severe dry eye must all be related. I've also gotten epidurals for

my neck, which has helped with some of the neck, arm and chest pain.

Is there anyone else who's heard of all these symptoms leading to a

diagnosis?

The surgeon will do a biopsy in February when fixing my hip....I'm

hoping that will tell us more.

Feel lost at times...not sure what to do other than keep taking pain

meds to get through the bad days....which is really everyday to some

degree.
