Hi Dr C
I’m not quite understanding the response. I did have a bone scan pre surgery and now 22 months out, the second scan. I have had numerous CAT scan, MRI’s , mylegram, and a number of Flexon Extensions. So the bone scan is inconclusive vs the CAT Scan? My doctors all agreed that due to the absence of clarity in the other tests, the scan should shed some light on the issue. If I had to rate the pain/uncomfortable factor, its a 3-4, and higher after some strenuous activity. My son is a PT student and showed the scan to his Professor( a noted PHD in difficult spine cases) and she indicated that a chemical reaction at this late date indicates a lack of a fusion in the surgical area. Frankly this is incredibly frustrating that this team of doctors are still scratching there heads after 22 months. I will keep you and the forum up to date after my consult tomorrow. Thank you again for everything.
