Re: Shadow on bone and doctore ordered 3 phase bone scan

[Guest guest]

Hi :

I hope they find out what is causing your pain, and I hope it is not too

serious.

One of my close friends was having severe coccyx pain and went to the

ER, etc. After many x-rays, and MRI's, and CAT scan, they did the

P.E.T. xray, and found a crack in that bone. She had an infection

breeding in there. She is on strong anti-biotic meds, and just had

surgery to clean out the area. Her infection was a Strep infection.

She is doing great now. The infection is cleared up, and no more pain.

I guess it was a freak thing that happened. She did fall on the ice a

few years ago, and never realized she had fractured it. We were all

glad she went to the ER to be checked out.

Gosh, we never know how things turn out. It is always better to get

checked out by a Dr. just to be sure.

Wishing you pain free days ahead.

Hugs,

Barbara

are looking for and can it be nothing serious?

Try not to worry, . They have to check out any abnormality they find.

Maybe you could call your physician so that he can reassure you.

Not an MD

Hi - I don't know what they are looking for specifically, but I can

tell you about a similar incident that I went through. I had pain in my upper

arm and an x-ray showed a " shadow " near the humeral head. Nothing showed on an

MRI and nothing showed on a bone scan, so they went in surgically to biopsy the

area to find out what it was. Turned out to be a benign bone cyst. They cleaned

out the area and filled it with synthetic bone and that was the end of that.

Keep us posted. My prayers are that your " shadow " turns out to be something

simple, too.....Doreen

Hi all,

I had pain in my coccyx area for about four weeks and went to my internal

med doctor this Monday. He ordered x-rays and told me to get a special pillow

for sitting. Then on early Wednesday, his nurse called me, said their was a

shadow on a nearby bone (sacral) and I needed a three phase bone scan which I am

getting on Monday. ANy clues what they are looking for and can it be nothing

serious?
