There is a "spot".
This is what was discovered in my MRI. Nothing wrong with my nerves, but there is a "spot" on one of the vertebra. As they don't know what it is, they are going to be doing a bone scan. The doctor thinks it is nothing, but as they don't know what it is, they have to make sure that it is nothing. SO! the bone scan.
This has sent me into a low grade anxiety attack because "a spot" is so very vague that it's abstract enough that I can't get a handle on what it could be. It could be nothing isn't helpful. There aren't any statistics or odds attached to it.
Waiting to hear back from the neurologist about how to go about getting the bone scan. Or at least setting up the appointment and etc.
