I'm 2 weeks post op RARP waiting for date to have my test done.
Since having my PET scan I have had lots of questions in assessments about chest, back and shoulder pains. I have osteoarthritis in my spine thru L to C and constantly in pain, but, the pain management team have said this is natural due to my condition, which mentioned before my op.
The oncologist said that they had 3 secondary uptakes in my 4th left, 7th right rib and posterior scapula. He said it was probably down to an infection or previous break/fracture.
suv: 3.9 Left / 3.3 Right / 3.5 Scapula which I understand are in the grey area?
My GP rang me yesterday and asked me to come down for a meds review after telling him I would like something stronger as pain increasing. Most of his questions where directed about my chest and shoulders which I thought was a bit strange.
Should I have reason for concern as its actually made me feel a little nervous 😓
