osteoarthritis x ray

No methods of therapy or NSAIDS seems to help. No diagnosis. i just did this x ray. It looks like narrowing of the patellafemoral space. Is this correct? Thank you for any advice.

I am 26 and have had joint degeneration in the facets of my cervical spine that has been visible on x-ray since I was 19. I just recently found out about this when I got another x-ray done, and the findings stated it was compared to an x-ray from 2002 which showed degeneration. Why didnt any one tell me? My doctors just said my x-rays were normal, but how can this be normal for someone that was 19 at the time?

As she has said nothing to me I presume these are all negative. Apart from my thumb which is grade 2 osteoarthritis. (x ray 6 months ago-no obvious sign of arthritis) the aching elsewhere went away. However I have noticed that my other thumb is beginning to ache slightly. I put this down to using this instead of the injured hand. I have noticed that my knees are making strange noises, like squeeking, especially climbing stairs. My questiond are- Does osteoarthritis affects several areas?

I had a severe impact injury and although no bone injury was sustained the x ray showed marginal oesteophytes from L3 to L5 what is this and can this be a result of the injury

The only way to diagnose osteoarthritis or autoimmune arthritis is with x-rays and blood bests. Your thirties is not to young to develop osteoarthritis (the wear and tear type) if you are athletic, or conversely, if you DON'T exercise, if you're overweight, or if you have a congenital deformity in your knees that is only now making itself known with pain. I'd say go in for an x-ray, at the very least.

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)?

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.

try to get a copy of the x-ray report or ask to get an MRI and see the report that comes with that.

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?

I have a daughter who doesn't live with me and she has lice will it show up in an x-ray

my latest back x ray for some reason the dr's still want me taqking the pain killers saying that I must still be in alot of pain

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.

Kaul, for the last reponse while waiting for the MRI of my left hip because of pain and abnormal X-ray. I just got the report from MRI, and I think I understand part of it, but not all. Basically this is what it says. Findings. femoral head articulates appropriatly with the acetabulum. The region of luceny seen n superior aspect of femoral head is due to some reactive subcortical sclerosis. There is articular cartilage thinning in this location but no focal osteochondral defect.

Could the AVN be progressed to a point that bad enough to hurt that bad yet not be seen on x-ray? He mentioned that it may look like I have a labral tear on my x-ray...what is that and is it something to be treated because he mentioned it like it was nothing. I'm so frustrated. Thanks for listening!

hi all! just have a quick question. i've been having tailbone pain for the last 8 months or so. my doctor finally ordered an x-ray and all it said was "mild arthritic changes". im 26 yrs old and rather confused by what that means. could that be whats accouting for all my pain?? and does mild arthritic changes mean i have arthritis? thanks!

Well, it could or could not be. :>) An X ray is an important part of diagnosing this. You need to see a doctor who will do a physical exam, take a medical history and take x rays. Know that osteoarthritis of the knee does not usually start suddenly but builds gradually over years. You often would have swelling in the area too. Activity makes it flair or sitting for long periods until it is progressed to the point of constant pain. This doesn't exactly sound like you.

This month, when I saw my orthopedic surgeon for a 2 year follow up, the x-ray of my natural hip showed some changes. My surgeon glanced at the x-ray and said I was developing cysts on the ball of the femur. There is also a bone spur on the neck of the femur. According to my surgeon, these changes are early signs of arthritic changes in my hip. I am willing to believe that, but I do not understand how he can determine the cause of the changes in my hip by just glancing at the x-ray.

I have now had it for two months and today i cant even put weight on it and my other knee hurts too. I had x ray on them and it showing hardening and narrowing of the bones, my GP said this is common on xrays of elderly people not people my age and does not know the cause and referred me to specialist.
