Hi, Yeah you read right 2 separate bone scans, one delayed after my preliminary diagnosis by hospital not having the isotope.. say 8 months after I got CRPS. The second was ordered by my very wise and sharp pain Dr at that time just after my first spread from my left hand to left foot..

Results? First scan was "inconclusive" which is medical speak for We're not sure but it ain't normal. *L* Second Scan? My respected Dr's words "It lit up like the fourth of July".

Why? Well again I defer to my Pain Dr. he told me reason he'd sent me for the 2nd scan was he'd read an article on how the active effects on the bone in CRPS early stages can be transitory translation CRPS gets in messes with the bone then stops.. well stops for then.. not sure what it's doing in there now but I wish it would stop 'cause it hurts like hell.

Conclusion aside from the lousy batting average on Bone scans diagnosing CRPS, you could have every symptom of it and still come up negative on a scan... so believe what you KNOW in other words believe your pain.. and don't let some idiot who's never burned tell you it's all in your head..
