| Re: why? a bone scan?
Ed276,
When I was involved in a car accident years ago I experienced back trouble too. They later sent me for a bone scan as well. I don’t know about you but they told me at the time that it was also for precautionary measures. To make sure I didn’t damage or even hairline fracture other bones as well. I think the dye they use finds and sticks to only problem areas. They have to check everything when having serious and painful traumas such as yours. There is a chance that the major pain in your back may not allow you to feel a less painful break somewhere else. That’s how it was explained to me in my case anyway and they scanned the entire body.
I hope all goes well for you.
Good luck and God Bless
