Is Biopsy Required To Diagnose Temporal Arthritis?
I have a lot of the symptoms of temporal arteritis, my doc suspects I have it but my ESR is normal and he has not ordered a biopsy due to the risk of a skip lesion, he started me on prednisone and I am doing so much better, my question is should I have the biopsy?
