I have found nothing in the literature that suggests any bone scan has any value in RSD except to confirm the diagnosis. It can sometimes be useful for litigation, but it isn't going to help the clinician understand what is going on in your body, nor will suggest a more effective therapy.
These scans help hospitals pay for their very expensive equipment, so subjecting yourself to one could help future patients by amortizing the cost of the equipment. I have no moral qualms about seeing insurance companies billed for useless tests and procedures, so if you're willing to endure the discomfort in order to help others, I'm on your side...Vic
