i definately have arthritis.. started in my pelvis...recently x rays show significant arhritis and bone spurs..in upper back and neck.( it was a chiropractor who did the x aray and mentioned if i dont do something i will not be able to move in a few short years ( i am going to a rheuny end of oct)..and after a weird illness that lasted for two months .. i have joint pain that come and goes but its equal on both sides.. inmy hands, feet , knees and hips .. as well as dry eyes and huge digestive troubles..but the weirdest thing is blood work i had done a few months agao for hormone imbalance shows an elevated ketosteriod level.. i thought i read that this type arthritis can cause that hormone to elevate.( they have no idea why it is right now). even though most types cause it to be lower than normal.. anyone know anything about this?
