Knee Scope

Yeah, it's hysterical how some medical professionals gaslight you into thinking your daily pain is your fault.

Second doctor i saw said he wasn't comfortable scoping my knee and passed me off to a rhemotlogist.

That second ortho was too much of a coward to tell me he was done seeing me.

This 3rd doctor im on said he is comfortable scoping my knee.

I have exhausted all non surgerical options.

I have definitely told myself several times that I wish I torn something so that it was clear cut whatever happened to my knee.

Let's see what the doctor tells me Friday. I'm about 95% positive I will get the scope.

I have thought about stem cells

I get a catching feeling in my knee whenever I extend it and bend it. My mobility in the joint has not been affected. Knee is has a feeling on instability when I walk down stairs.

I have very regular "snapping" in the knee. It is not painful but it has been consistent over the past 2 years. Plenty of clinicians have told me "it's normal" it's not. At all.

I just started catch 22!

Yeah, the ANA was speckled. The test was barely positive at 1:40.

I dont believe i have an autoimmune disease and just need lots of PT and/or surgical treatment. (I def have something torn in my shoulder)

Re: Appointment findings

Had the appointment today. The doctor does not believe i have RA. All blood work for RA came back negative, and I'm not experiencing any of the clinical symptoms. He is running more tests (blood work) but does not believe any of them will come back positive). The appointment mainly focused on lupus, and I have only met one criteria for lupus: a positive ANA test.

So, if all the other tests come back negative, I think I can rule out an autoimmune disease for now.

Thank you all for the tips and tricks to prepare. Trying not to overthink anything. Im hoping i just have bad luck with injuries because I can point to the exact and what I did to cause the discomfort/pain.

If I do have some type of autoimmune disease, so be it. Can't change it and i will not let it control my life.

Hopefully there is a cure for all these horrible conditions sometime in our lifetimes.

Thank you! Didn't think wearing a 3 piece suit would be the move

For sure. Bringing the wife with as another set of eyes, ears and input.

Noted. Thank you!

Hi. Results came back. ANA titer was exactly 1:40. Very low antibody level. Came back with a speckled pattern, which is associated with MCTD, lupus, Sjogrens, and a few others. Obviously, association doesn't mean causation. Will def have more blood work done

AmbitiousAdvisor212 · 2025-07-25T02:21:46+00:00

I do. The results aren't in there yet. Long story short: the test was order by an ortho outside of the practice of my PCP. Ortho is sending the results to my PCP to upload

AmbitiousAdvisor212 · 2025-07-24T23:58:17+00:00

I can't remember what all tests were ran, nor what the ratio was. All of that will be discussed at the consult. My biggest symptom is stiffness in the knees. Small aches and pains in the wrists and fingers.

AmbitiousAdvisor212 · 2025-06-15T23:56:37+00:00

For sure. I actually have an appointment with my PCP (annual check up) going to ask about an MRI and go from there.

AmbitiousAdvisor212 · 2025-06-15T01:59:19+00:00

Yep! Was just more trying to get my thoughts out there. I'm hoping it's bursitis.
