Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 Group, Has anyone been diagnosised with arthritis that actually showed something on an X-ray. IS there something extra, missing or what or is this just another of the Doctors telling me that is what it is when they haven't the slightest idea what's going on. Its a knee, it has bothered me off and on for over 8 yrs, yes, I have Lyme disease, one Dr and one blood test says so, local Dr's haven't a clue, one Dr can't treat me because Medicaide won't pay his(I am so lucky to be disabled and have that kind of Ins-right)fees, local Dr's say I do not have Lyme disease, hence no treatment from Dr's buts that's OK as I am using an allternative but I was just wondering about this knee thing. Last Dr I saw locally X-rayed it, told me it was inflammatory arthritis, I mentioned Lyme disease, he ask if I was from " up North " told him " no " as Lyme is here. He told me I could not have Lyme disease so I told him if nothing showed on the Xray that I also didn't have inflammatory arthritis. Needless to say no treatment there either-sorry but I am sick of their nonsense. What get the knee to hurting extremely bad is walking thru a super Walmart-that is all it takes. It could be swollen a bit, never red in color but it is then days of trying to do nothing to get it to quit hurting. Any ideas?
