Re: hip problems evaluated
Hey Everybody, I have been gone for a few days. The city wants to close the firehouse that is the first responder to the university where both my children go and live. I have been to city counsel meeting and on the phone.... still more work to do.
I had my Dr. appt. today. I have "moderate" arthritis in my hips. I will have a injection in the right joint in Dec. and the left joint in Jan. I will see the Dr. again in Feb. to evulate. I will/do need hip replacements. I think this summer would work when we are out of school. I don't know.. I will request my MRI from MDA.
I see my onc in Dec. and will see what he thinks about hip replacements also about a MRI of my hips. I know I will have to have one before the replacement.
Sheila, I had my last Zometa in April. He said I am doing and well don't need it any more.
Chelee, I too need to look in to a MRI of my hips. Good point on that 10/08 PET scan showing ? on hips.My Oct. PET didn't show anything and my back MRI was fine too.
I hope this finds you well and full of hope.
