I have had intermittent problems with pain and stiffness in my wrist for a couple of years, but last week it was really bad and I had to strap it up so went to the docs on Wednesday. She sent me for an xray which i had taken yesterday and I have to go for blood tests next week. Any ideas on what they will check for in the blood tests?

Possibly to look at ESR levels to check for things like rheumatoid arthritiis etc I had one recently to rule in or out Polymyalgia Rheumatica.

Thanks Mamyalynne - thought it might be something like that - how did you get on?

Well they said my cell count was a little high but not enough to diagnose PMR, so will soldier on as we do.
