Has anyone had CT Flouroscopy done? Was it helpful or a waste of time? I'm scheduled to have this done on Friday and not sure what to expect.
Asked by Samantha ct scan flouroscopy
Hey, I have my apt with my dr to talk about my MRI /cat scan results. I am nervous because although I have all the symptoms, there was only damage that is (I'm assuming wear and tear- I'm 29). Disc desiccation, focal kyphosis, and two herniated discs. Enbrel has helped so much and I really only hurt after rest. Do you think he'll switch my dx? Ive had symptoms for two years and had TNf inh. For over a year, I don't really doubt I have AS, but will the scans give my dr doubts?

I had an MRI three weeks ago to get a starting baseline dx last year, and my rheum sent the images to a surgeon for a consult and the surgeon wants a ct possibly a bone scan. They haven't said why other than 2 herniated discs, disc desiccation and they said something about did I have a trauma bc AS people are prone to small fractures. I'm in AK so the drs are very busy. What do you guys think?

Okay, so i've been away from here for a bit. We have been struggling for a few years trying to get a diagnosis.. With not enough proof to get a diagnosis of AS. I had a CT scan 3 weeks ago which finally showed something. Both left and right SI joints are full of osteophytes and both have considerable joint space narrowing, though the right is worse than the left in both cases. Anyway My doc wants me to get SI joint injections... Anyone else have them? Tell me about it, i'm really anxious.

I know you have been wondering so I met with the Head Neck Surgeon and she said she cannot feel the lymph node enough because it's too deep I need go to to Interventional Radiology. It is a same day procedure I will be there 5 hours for prep, the biopsy of my lymph node, recovery...they have to inject pain meds into me and all of that. I didn't wait for them to call me so I called them today and as of now I'm scheduled for Monday. Needless to say the freaking out has begun?

I got this email from my doctor today, he made me go in on Friday for an Emergency CT scan with contrast: The CT scan of your neck shows numerous small lymph nodes in the neck. They said the size of the nodes are not remarkable but the number of nodes are. I think the next step is to get a biopsy of the nodes. I will contact Head and Neck surgery on Tuesday so that they may evaluate you ASAP for a biopsy. Has anyone had this, he is checking for cancers as well?

Dr found a lump in my chest x-ray by my 7th rib. I need to go for CT scan on Wed. I was also told to stop meds including Humira. I THINK I found the spot where the lump is and it is VERY painful to touch. Is this familiar to anyone?

PCP diagnosed me with AS, but Rhuemy doc says he's not sure, and wants to do more tests. I am having a CT scan tommorow on my SI joints. What results would be indicative of AS, and does inflammation show on a CT scan?
