Glad I found this group !!!! FEEL COMPLETELY ALONE WITH THIS OUT IN THE BOONIES because the local doctor implied I'm a hypochondriac or just trying to get pain medicine which I'm not I have never gotten any nor ask for any and the large city research Dr s said definitely DISH and the doctor in the small City said sae zero nada none NO evidence of DISH .....and they're looking at the SAME spine n ribs n back n the same TRABECULAR etc bone scans n report stating bridging a
Osteophytes and "DISH" , the same DEXA bone scans from several years, and the same recent thorasic x-rays, the same mri's of the foot with the Achilles turning to Bone, the same X-rays of the spine and the ribs and the lumbar, and the same head to toe MRIs but rheumatologist says no DISH and the other rheumatology research clinic says DISH ....the research clinic says definitely dish your back is "encased in a column" and it's all over your body hands feet ribs legs but the local rheumatologist says No signs of it AT ALL.?????????? Makes me wonder what's wrong with the medical profession ... So much discrepancy n so much shaming of active athletic healthy lifestyle patient..... and what the local agenda is to rule it out when the experts say definitely DISH. ???????????????????

Sorry you have such conflicting opinions. I would say stay away from the ones who say no. Listen to the ones that say yes. Your body is most likely telling you that it is. Stay strong and be vigilant in getting to the bottom of it and getting the right physicians to treat you. Prayers to you.

Yes I would agree with DISH. I have many similar issues and I have DISH.
