Re: What now - lower back, hip & shoulder pain
I heard back from the doctor and she is doing the scans to try and find a source of the pain. Also, the blood test below has never been this high. Of course, when you click on what this test is used for or can indicate it says:
- Acute and chronic gallbladder inflammation
- Bone metastasis
- Drug-induced liver disease
- Hepatitis
Of course I focused on the bone metastasis!! At least I will find out Friday and won't have to wait the entire weekend.
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE BLD: 124*
