I'm having doubts about having a bone scan done in a few weeks, and wanted to get some other opinions about whether it's worthwhile or not. Outside of the obvious pros (getting it out of the way, gaining insight into what's going on inside me) and the cons (having radioactive matter injected into my body, the inconvenience of it taking six hours with two hour gaps in which I have nothing to do and no where to relax), I would really appreciate your input.

I've read several articles and posts questioning the true value of this test in diagnosing RSD, and honestly I don't want to do it.

You responses are appreciated.
