inaccurate
Jan. 3rd, 2013 06:30 pmI had labs and an xray run yesterday due to some serious pain in my right hand. I got a call today from a medical assistant and the message was that all the other tests were normal (other than the elevated ESR that I knew about last night). This was inaccurate in two ways now that I see what has been released online to me:
1.) My ANA test has not come back yet, so I don't know if everything else is normal and,
2.) The x-ray was not normal. There is a subchondral cyst in the exact joint where I am having the most pain. This probably points to arthritis, but the pain has been very sudden and severe. And? THAT IS NOT A NORMAL X-ray. Also? The radiologist notes that a MRI may be in order should the pain persist. Again, not a "nothing to see here" situation.
Gah.
