And if so when it came back abnormal did you still suspect a co infection?
They did this and when the test was being performed I would see the areas of my feet that are hurting so bad light up.
There looks to be a black circle on both feet on the top.
I think its black matter is what it reminds me of.
All the Rheumatoid Dr. can say at this point is they need to rule out Osteonecrosis.
I Google this and it just doesn't fit what is going on.
I truly feel like there is some for of infection in the bones in my feet that of course have sped to the other foot.
They are going to get a MRI now of both feet.
They also have now agreed to pain meds. Thank goodness.
Can Bart show up in studies like this? Can it be in the bone and they have just missed it?
I would like to post a pic of the test of the feet, just so I can get some guidance as to if this could still be co infections ?
I cannot figure out how to post it to here but I will keep trying.

Increased contrast uptake in bone is one indication of RSD/CRPS (may also indicate other things).
I had this show positive on my 3 phase bone scan but the doctor neglected to mention it was RSD/CRPS even though I had all the symptoms. Cost me my job (that I loved) and 4 years of h3llacious pain before it was finally properly diagnosed.
I have since learned that RSD/CRPS may be connected with Lyme/coinfections (Bartonella, probably, in my case). Thankfully, I am now in remission, but the crushing pain tries to come back quickly whenever I can't get any exercise.

Razzle thank you for this Im not sure of what RSD/CRPS means.
the pain in my feet its bad. i can not walk most of the time.
Im taking Nueontin and a pain med that only takes the edge of the throbbing.
I do feel this is somehow connected to lyme or co infections.
You just dont take and be as active as I was and outgoing of a person to this.
