It's important to understand which tests you need and what the results mean for your condition. Ask your doctor these questions about exams and tests you may need:
- What did my physical exam tell you about my joints?
- What blood tests do I need and what will the results tell us?
- How often will I need joint X-rays and what did my last X-rays reveal?
- Will I need an MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound and what will it tell us?
