Hi,

me again,

You've only got the type of arthritis people get with aging! I've got a good buddy with as and you don't have that!"

hummmm, SpA is known as a younger persons arthritis, diagnosed before 40, sometimes later.

Go see a rheummy, insist on it to be on the "safe side" I've had lots of non specialist opinions and most have been wrong or out of there league. As you've found out it can be quick and nasty.

I've also found rheummies interpret the scans more thoroughly than the radiographers, they know exactly what they are looking for. They also look at all black and white pictures.
