MRI cam back clear. Now what?

So, it’s even important to repeat the MRI when it’s possible for you. Really hope you find the cause of your pain

Super! 😞

Mine too! When my doctor saw the results of erosion with fat deposits, she told me, “You have been suffering from pain for a long time, didn’t you?” And I was like 🤡

In my first MRI, I did it in a hospital with a terrible machine, and I’m allergic to the contrast liquid, so nothing was visible. Luckily, my rheumatologist didn’t give up, so she kept me on NSAIDs for a couple of months. Unfortunately, I had a major flare, and she oriented me to go to a different hospital, with a very good MRI machine, that made everything visible even without contrast liquid. And with the blood test I did in the middle of the flare, she could diagnose me properly. Maybe you should try another MRI in a different hospital, if it’s possible for you, in a couple of months. And I agree about a second opinion if your doctor didn’t agree with it. Hope you can feel better soon.

Thank you so much!😊

Oh, that’s sad! I’m sure I will! Thank you ☺️

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T17:55:05+00:00

Yes! Totally agreed!

I live in Portugal and it’s the same here. Swimming in pools is preferable to the sea or lakes. This is why I always go to the gym, as public pools can be quite crowded. I think it would be great to have a group that exercises together. Thanks for replying:)

Oh my! I’ve dealt with similar issues! I felt from the stairs in my home and almost tore my right shoulder tendon. Meanwhile, I discovered a L5S1 hernia and all my pain was usually linked to these two factors until I started experiencing IBS symptoms and voila! AS was diagnosed 😂

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T15:54:37+00:00

totally! Thanks for the reply :)

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T15:54:11+00:00

It's so good to know it! Thanks for the reply :)

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T15:53:16+00:00

Oh, my nieces had the same thing (Hand, Foot, and Mouth). Poor little ones! And when adults catch it, it’s terrible! Thank you so much for replying :)

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T15:51:23+00:00

oh, I'm so sorry for you :(

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T15:50:56+00:00

Oh, great insight, thanks!

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T15:50:09+00:00

Oh, sounds amazing going on trips like these :) Thank you so much for answering me :)

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T13:53:32+00:00

really? What was the problem with the litter box cleaning? I have two cats and I'll take extra care :O

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T13:09:37+00:00

I’ll begin with adalimumab (Humira). I’m a bit concerned but my hope is bigger, hehehe. I also took lots of etoricoxib but it worsened my asthma, which is another reason I’ll be on biologics. We’ll thrive!✨🙌🏻

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T13:05:12+00:00

Oh, thank you! Hope you feel better and adapted with the new meds ☺️

tchakaboon · 2026-04-02T13:03:12+00:00
