What to ask Dr about a "bone scan" #515005 05/25/16 02:18 AM

Now at 55 years old its getting worse. I can function OK while moving, but just 10-15 minutes of sitting its difficult to get up. My grandfather had and my 82 yo mother has AS. I am positive for HLA-B27. Aleve does work for me. Also have some IBS and dust/wind really irritates my eyes for days. I have challenged a Rhummy for a diagnosis. I may not be ready to take a stout Rx, but need to know what I have so I can research it. Doc recommends a "whole body bone scan". Are there any recommendations on whether to have this, or suggestions on what I should be asking? Thanks Last edited by Redonthehead; 05/25/16 02:19 AM.
