Tammy,

Thanks for your reply :-) I know I am so lucky compared to so many others on this board who have much bigger problems than I do. Do other kinds of things show up on bone scans? You mentioned arthritis....I have had a "bad back" for years due to an injury in my 30s....about in the same area. Could the old injury, or arthritis light up on a bone scan?

Thanks
