If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Hi Jill,
I'm glad that your rheumy listened. Just to let you know, I had an Xray of my SI joint and back and nothing showed up. I then had a bone scan which led to my diagnosis.
So if the Xray doesn't show anything maybe ask for a bone scan.
Good luck

I know I'm echoing Sal but especially with women there often are no radiological changes for a long time, no matter what degree of pain we're in. The bone scan is how they nailed down the DX for me. At least your rheumy is now listening to you, so perhaps if the x-ray shows nothing and the blood test shows negative, you could suggest this further test be done.
