Xrays showed significant degeneration in both elbows and hands. And right elbow (the worst of the worst) was somethings called subchondral cystic changes INSIDE THE BONES. Basically there's been enough degeneration that fluid has entered the bone and formed fluid-filled pockets... No wonder they hurt so danged much!!!!

Other tests were mostly normal EXCEPT several that they ran to check for inflammation came back off the charts high. Not good! And not sure what can be done about that considering I'm already on prescription anti-inflammatories, taking Omega 3 supplements, and eating a ton of spinach!

Guess I'll find out when I go for my follow up in May. Or maybe when I see the cardiologist next week (I'll take the test results with me.)

It's always something...
