Hi Sarah,

Let me 1st say how very sorry I am to hear of the loss of your son.  I cannot imagine the pain and the fear you must have to ward off each and every day for those near and dear to your heart.  My prayers and thoughts go to you with this.

I do not know much about joint sclerosis, but understand totally why you've come our way looking for answers.  I hope our other members will be able to shed some light on this subject.

Our members are versed in so many areas, I hope we can provide you some information and support.

Welcome to our forum family.  See you around soon,
Shelly

Any thoughts for Sara03?

Hi Sara, your daughter needs to see a rheumatologist and/or an orthopedic Dr.  What I know of joint sclerosis is that on an x-ray the bone is whiter than the healthy bone.  It usually means a degenerative process is going on and it may get worse over time.  I would not hesitate to try to get a referal to a specialist.  

Please keep me posted on her.
