bone scan result
Finally, I got my discogram done yesterday and it shows my L5-S1 causes 10/10 pain and L4-L5 causes 7/10 pain. That is good news. But bad news is that my bone scan T number is only -1.9 for spine and -2.1 for hip. Based on my understanding, this number will disqualify me for adr. But I am not for sure yet until I meet with Dr Guyer next week.
I am very disappointed with my bone result and decide to do everything I can to improve. I know it is not a overnight fix and I don't know how long I can stand the pain... Maybe I can consider some docs overseas with the bone cement technology?
Any advice?
