OK ... So I'm up worrying my head off.

Anybody ever have a bone scan? Yes, I've looked it up but I want to hear
from a real people.

I need to go to one of those sleep schools. It's 3:09 AM - a little early
for me but I'm going to try. Yes, I sleep some in the day ~ but not much.

Pamela,
I had one over a year ago....they thought I had osteomyelitis, it was actually easier then an MRI. There are usually 2 sets of scans....one on one day and then 24 hours later.

Hi Pam, Yes I had one after cancer to make sure nothing moved to my bones. Nothing to it! They inject you w/ some stuff, I can't quite remember but I think it's radioactive stuff. I don't remember but I think they use one of those CT scans which are cake! Good Luck!

Thank you, Patti:

My pain doctor has been so busy talking up the pain pump that he's neglected to
ask where I hurt. When I showed him it was my upper arm/shoulder that was
in pain, he just panicked and started talking about ordering all these tests. He
doesn't trust doctors and so he's sending me to his own internist, a cardiologist.
What made the doctors think you had osteomyelitis?

Pete,
Thank you for your quick response. What a marvel to post a question and just
a short time later have an answer from real people.
