tomorrow i will be getting a bone scan done in odessa, texas (twenty miles from where i live) i had a motorcycle wreck on september ninth when i got rear ended by a z28. i recieved a compression fracture at T11 and a wedge fracture at T12 in my back. this test will determine if i need epidural steriod injections into the disc(s) to get rid of the inflammation. if the injections don't work, removal of the disc(s).

please pray that i don't even need the epidural injections. i would appreciate it. thanks y'all!

 

I am praying for ya, I was in a car wreck and had a compression fracture at T-12 4 years ago. Still in a damn wheelchair.

 

wow....i hope the best for you rover!

 

thanks guys.

 

mike, do you have a spinal injury, or is it a leg issue?i have had a knee rebuilt, but never a spinal issue..

 

oh yeah, well, my daddy has a metal knee, ha ha ha, he set off metal detectors all over houston at JSC last week. lol.

 

Let us know what the results are mate. I too had to have a bone scan (m.r.i) on my knee. It really is not very nice at all.

 

this wasn't an MRI. i'll get the results on wednesday.

the doctor who helped me was a hindu lady. this was the first time i could understand what one of them was saying. she spoke perfect english. hell, i don't even do that i speak the texas dialect.

 

yea spinal injury @ T-12.

 

sorry to hear that...
