Correct--I do not have a diagnosis as of yet. When I saw the rheumy he mentioned that he didn't think it was AS as it looked like only the left SI joint was being destroyed. I wasn't really impressed w/him but everyone I keep seeing tells me how good he is at finding out what is wrong w/people. My optometrist told me I should just go down there and sit in his office and demand to be seen before May.
I have thought about doing just that after my MRI and xray given how they refuse to really answer anything or get me in before May.
Again, I am guessing that because I have been in pain they are assuming I am inflamed and do not want me to inflame the joint(s) anymore by exercising. I do try to move around as much as I can but I don't do any major things like the core strengthening exercises, etc. as those seem to make me hurt even more.
My GP is great, yet she doesn't feel comfortable w/all of this "weird" stuff I have going on. She will order any tests, refer me, or do what she can to help me get to the bottom of it but I guarantee she would not try to decipher it all on her own.
