Had an MRI yesterday, have a Dexa one booked for Thurs and a consultation with the back specialist mid Sept.
This morning I got a letter.....another scan 30th August....a couple of days after I get back, Its a bone scan.....but not a Dexa....its a Nuclear Medicine Imaging scan, An injection {radioactive} then 3 hours to wait and then x rays which will take 30 to 45 mins.....then home?? Oh well this is one i havent had before

Hi Hileena
Glad they are being so thorough to be honest - things are not right and someone wants to find out why
I have had the nuclear one for my heart a few years ago. Did radioactive wee for a while but apart from that it was similar to MRI type (had to remove anything metal - l know you know what l refer to ).

Hi,
I know what you re referring to Toni.....I've still got it intact LOL
yes they really are putting me through it....hope it's worth it in the end.
I know it varies depending on what part of you they are doing
I had googled it and it looked similar to an MRI table.....but the letter does say you might sit, stand, or lie on a table.....hope the table one isnt similar to an MRI...was stuck in ther for 30 mins yesterday ....no music or anything
Never thought about weeing radioactive LOL LOL
Love

My diary has changed completely!!!!!!!!
If someone suggested doing something I checked it to make sure I wasnt going anywhere else that day.
Now I check it to see if I have a docs appointment, consultant appointment, scan of some kind or other????
How sad is that :sad:
I have a GP telephone call this morning.
Want to see if she needs to chase up the MRI before i go away on Fri morning.
Really I'm just nosey and want the result but thats as good a reason as any {to tell her}
Love

Morning Hileena
Hope you have a good telephone consultation with your gp, It is so much better than having to go and sit in their waiting rooms.
I can imagine your diary, mine has been quite full too (not as full as yours mind )
I bet you are looking forward to going away on friday, I hope you have a lovely time.
Take care

Oooooh! Radioactive stuff? Will you be a glowing hileena? I know it's a bind but at least they are trying to find out all they can to help you, that can only be a good thing. Enjoy the holiday - you need and deserve it hon! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Yes...I am looking forward to my holiday....not the journey there but the holiday
DD.....When the consultant mentioned bone scan I thought he meant dexa and I said I've got an appointment for one {tomorrow} he said Oh No....not one of those....this one makes you glow So until I got the letter and the appointment for that I didnt really know what it was??? :?: :???:
