Just curious how it went.. I am having one done monday afternoon to help figure out where my wrist pain is coming from... We can't pinpoint the location...

Stop fapping, and see if the pain goes away?

Heh, on a more serious note good luck. Sorry I don't have any real info for you

I had one done in high school to see if I had chipped off part of my hip.

My hip was fine, but they did find that I only had one kidney. D'oh!

It's a painless thing. You go to the nuke lab and get injected. Let it sit for an hour, and then lay on a table under a scanner for another 30 minutes. Results come back several days later.

yeah. i had one done last month.

its nothing major. kinda scary when the tech came in with a needle in a steel container and its marked with the radioactive symbol.

they inject you with a dye. you wait 2-3 hours then get on a machine.
you have to lie completely still for 15 minutes. then you are done.

well that is what i went through for a full body bone scan anyway.

My wife had a bone scan a couple weeks ago. It was pretty painless, although that night she was not allowed near our newborn.

Just for kicks, I wonder what happens if you try going through an Airport security checkpoint with those radiation detection wands they have

the technician was a bit surprised by the initial pics, my wrists were BRIGHT white, he said there is definately something going on
