Prescott Valley, AZ

For the past 5-6 months I have had left knee pain that is progressively getting worse. It sometimes radiates to the bottom of my foot and/or my hip. X-ray showed joint space narrowing, MRI showed no abnormalities. (Negative tests are not good news in our little RA world.)

I have stenosis of my sacrifice joint in my lower back hip area. Spondylitis. I have to have radio frequency done on the nerves to get relief.
I had an artistic tear in my knee years ago and had that cleaned up.
I hope you get some answers soon.
Merry Christmas.

Meegan, I have been down this path also. I am now waiting for a L knee replacement and eventually will need L hip also. I have steroid injections into the R side of my very lower back which does help with some pain relief in this area. I to suffer from RA, OA. Some days are a bit better than others, but I just go with it now and do what I am able to do. Very frustrating this disease. Hang in there.🌼
