I have relapse remitting MS and have been having a lot of pain in my left upper leg, hip and back. My doc is on vacation and another one did xrays and just emailed me the results without explaining them.

Said my SI joints, especially the right ones appear appear sclerotic but patent. Anybody have any idea what that means? I emailed this replacement doc back but haven't heard from her yet. I looked it up online and get mixed answers.

Anyway, please post if you have any clue what this means.

Thanks

I have no idea what the doc is talking about as far as sclerotic joints. Sorry.

sacroiliac (pelvic - sacrum/ilium) joints appear sclerotic (hardened/scarred) but patent (unobstructed)

useful site: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com

hope that helps.

q: do you currently take any dietary/supplemental action against the pain?
