Re: severe pain in lower back, very worried

I agree to getting the scan but remember a bone scan tends to show everything, even arthritis or old injuries so an MRI may be better, I'd let your Onc know the pain you're in so he can decide, chances are its muscular but best to check for peace of mind and praying for nothing sinister, please keep us posted.
