"Just a quick question. Xray showed enthesopathy. I've never heard of it before and am wondering if anyone could share experience with it."

  1. Hi , lovely to hear from you. I had not heard the term enthesopathy before, and have found mixed answers on this. Some seem to use it interchangeably with enthesitis (inflammation of the entheses), and others seem to use enthesopathy as a more general term for any abnormality of the entheses. We do have some information on psoriatic arthritis and enthesitis, which I thought may be of interest: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/clinical/enthesitis-symptoms I have enthesitis in various places and it usually manifests as either pain or inability to bend/stretch the area. Are you having any symptoms in the area that showed up on the X-ray? And will you have a chance to discuss these results with your rheumatologist at some point? Warmly, -Catherine, Community Moderator
