Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Bone Scan Done. No Surgery To Stop Vertibra From Fusing. Advised CT Scan For Pelvic Area. Any Correlation?
I had a bone scan done and there were two areas of concern, one was the lower vertibra s of my spine which has already been examined by a team of doctors at a spinal clinic. Result, there is no surgery they can do to stop these vertibra s from fusing. When they are fused, besides the pain what can I expect? Their second concern was that they wanted further imaging of my right pelvic area so they have ordered a CT Scan for that. Is there a coralation between the two areas or could there be a completely new problem with my right pelvic area?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. They might be suspecting a problem in the right side of your pelvis. Apart from the [pain, the fusing vertebrae can cause a nerve root compression causing muscle weakness. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
