Hi and Welcome!   Could you be a little more specific, have you been to a rheumy or had any x-rays yet.  What type of arthritis are we talking about here.  I have ReA and AS and have had both x-ray and MRI, the MRI was for my spine and sac joints to help determine the AS ( Ankoylosing Spondylitis).   That is why I am asking what type of arthritis you are referring to, sometimes x-rays are all you need.  Get back to me and I will be better able to answer your question.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

Simply yes, in conjunction with a complete blood workup including sed rate, RH factor, etc.  See your doctor ;-)
