Common Questions and Answers about Osteoarthritis foot x ray
osteoarthritis
m 29 and three years ago I was diagnosed with osteoarthrits in my foot. It was painful for weeks, and an x ray confirmed this. I think it is on the other foot too, but I never had that x- rayed. Shortly after, I noticed that I was having pain at the base of my thumb joint, which I understand may indicate osteoarthritis. I was tested for rh. factor and the usual blood tests. I also asked for anti CCP tests- everything has come back normal twice.
It is important to know what the findings of the X ray were. Also at this point a repeat X ray of both the knees and an orthopedic evaluation is warranted.
There can be many causes of knee pain like arthritis, bursitis, meniscal injury, and tendinitis and nerve compression.
I will urge you to get her orthopedic evaluation done at your earliest.
I have been diagnosed with high risk osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. I am wondering if I could have fractured the metatarsals(if thats what they are in the foot) or can it be arthritis causing this burning terrible pain. Some days I can barely walk. I can't find any shoes that don't hurt. I would appreciate any ideas here. Thanks.
The issue of gas in the bowel, as brought up by doctornee, can also create difficulties.
The hospital staff know this, but remember that timely information is necessary, because x-rays are often requested as a means of differential diagnosis of life-threatening injuries.
Hospitals generally require an x-ray of the chest, but feel free to refuse this if you have come in for hospitalization for a broken foot, for example.
Once my ring finger knuckle hurt for a year. The doc said the X-Ray showed no knuckle between the finger bones. Is this a case of disappearing joints? I've tried glucosamine chondroitin and shark cartilage but I can't see any noticeable improvements. Is there any way to resolve (aside from pain killers and drugs that have unknown or risky side affects)?
After several weeks of discomfort in the sole of my foot after surgery, and not finding an answer from my primary doctor, All my primary suggested was inflamation in my foot. It wasnt enough for me so I went to a specialist I already have problems with my doot so I thought it best to go to a specialist. He took x rays and determined it was Osteoarthritist. The big concern at first was blood clots since it was right after surgery. I still am concerned about this. Can you still get them?
t seem to find someone who will really give me the time to look at the whole picture. Two years ago they said that it was plantar fasciitis(normal x-Ray but MRI showed some mild plantar fasciitis, had shots and months of PT and Home stretching and icing. Months later I went to another doctor who did another xray and on scan that showed fractures in both calcaneus . Then I was casted (left foot only because it was the worst) and used crutches but still walked on it. Then used a boot for 6 weeks.
I went to the clinic and they did an X-ray. They said here were no breaks or fractures but said I had smashed it really bad. I was on crutches for several days. The bruising has gone away and the swelling has too for he most part. After I'm on my feet for a long period of time the foot will swell. I also have a round knot or bump about the size of a marble that seems attached to the bone. That place has started itching and is still super sore.
ve had chronic knee problems, but an X-ray tells you next to nothing except possible osteoarthritis. An MRI tells you a lot more. But I doubt a general doc can read them very well, you'd have to see an orthpedic surgeon to get a better reading of it and they also know better how to test your range of motion to see what's up.
I have a dental appointment tomorrow and I know they may try to give me an x-ray. I'm 16 weeks now and this is my first pregnancy. I went to the dentist earlier this year and they didn't want to do an x-ray because I was in my 1st trimester. Is it really safe to have one done now?
