Last time it happened they wouldn't drain it because he wanted her to go to a rheumatologist who she couldn't get into for 4 weeks. After thousands of dollars in blood work nothing really showed up. Told her if it only happens a few times a year she should just get the cortisone shot. That was less than 3 months ago and last week she woke up an it was filling with fluid and stiffening up. She is so frustrated too as no on can find out what is causing it. I hope you can get an answer and some relief. |
Sounds like your daughter and I have the exact same symptoms..only mine hasnt gone away...probably cause my Ortho doesnt want to drain it or give me a Cortisone shot for it...DONT ASK ME WHY! I cant figure it out myself.
Anyways..the recent update is he has referred me to a Rheumatologist because my blood labs came back kinda high. Hopefully I'll get some relief soon!
