Reactive Arthritis?

Do I have "reactive arthritis"?

Following the completion of 6 BCG treatments on March 19, I am having consistent moderate to severe pain in the band around my two hips. I have not had any prior issue of arthritis (save sciatica I experience on rare occasions due to a bad back). In addition, when I complained of increased incontinence following the CBG treatments, my doctor told me this is to be expected and will not last. So far, this has not been the case.

As a matter of fact, I can clearly recall getting off the table for my fourth BCG treatment and having a sharp shooting pain in my right hip which I mentioned to the nurse. She said nothing at the time and I did not mention it to the doctor. However, this has continued and gotten worse.

At any rate, a long while after I did mention that I am having this pain and he said it was probably not attributable to the BCG treatments. He wanted to make sure I did not have any problem with my kidneys so he sent me for a kidney scan. The results were negative.

I am in the process of finding information about reactive arthritis and so far what I see - fills me with anxiety. Although it might improve and lessen or continue on to present as a lasting condition but treatable has created a new concern of course.

Has any member amongst us had reactive arthritis which was diagnosed? If so, what treatment was offered?

I hope all group members ultimately receives encouraging outcomes from whatever treatment they are taking.

I wish to thank you in advance for any response(s) I may receive.

Best wishes,
Bobbie
