Hi Bluestone
Did you have your scan yet? What information do they hope to get from the scan that couldn't be gotten from X-ray or CT scan? Good Luck, and keep us posted. LoriLori in PA, 52 yrs. old

I have my bone scan on Monday.
Kind of dreading it because I have to have a dye injected then go back in 3hrs for the scan which last 30-60mins. Unfortunately we live too far away from the hospital so we will have 3hrs to kill.
Looks like my pain levels will be at an all time high

i am sorry you are in such bad pain...
i had a bone scan years ago, for something unrelated to scoli...
it was no different from any other scan in terms of being uncomfortable
or painful...just inconvenient because of the wait for the dye to travel
around the body....
i hope they find answers for you....
