Stress Fracture and Bone Scan

jeepyj93

I have been suffering with a sore heel for a year now and i have had several different treatments. I finally have had a bone scan of my feet. I saw on the screen both legs from the knees down the right heel that is sore had a bright white yellow spot.
I have a follow up appointment on Monday but i can't wait.
Has anyone had similar issues and results what does the yellow spot mean.

No idea.

I don't think there are any doctors on MFP.

Did you get an actual xray of your foot or did you get a whole body bone density (DEXA) scan done? If it's the latter I doubt the resolution would be good enough to pick up a small stress fracture in your heel.
