Back to my rheumatologist I went this morning. After talking to me and examining me, she told me that hip arthritis is beginning to set in (I have more leg pain today for some reason, so when she tested my hips, I could tell when the pain worsened). The arches of my feet are also lower, sigh... And to top it all off, she plans to send me to a hematologist to see if inadequate blood flow might be causing the burning thigh pain during exercise. Lastly, blood work and a urinalysis was done, and I have a followup visit in February 8 to discuss all this. Ugh! At least she didn't tell me that the pain "is nothing" like the neurologist did.

Oh, and she thinks the ankle pain is tendonitis.
