Re: Lower back soreness for two weeks - should I request a bone scan?
Hi ladies thought I would just join in the conversation here about bone pain. I also have the heating pad beside my bed. I seem to always have aches and pains. Probably a lot is from the Letrozole. I did have a bone scan a few months ago because of a constant pain in my left leg that was there for probably 6 months. Bone scan was clear. I have also had a US of right shoulder last July because of constant pain. This pain turned out to be calcified tendonitis. I need to get to physio to have that dealt with and get started on some exercises for that. Lately this right shoulder is really painful constantly. I know that I had the bone scan just recently. I hope nothing could pop up in the bones that quickly to cause in the increase and severity of pain. I have been also taking Mortin or advil and it seems to work for a while.
These aches and pains could drive you crazy with worry some times but I keep telling me self relax you just had the bone scan. Any thoughts? Best wishes and continued good health to all! Lois
