Bone scan and anti inflammatory

[fredsmummy]

Hello all,

I hope you are all ok on this very miserable day (well it’s pouring and humid here in London)

I’m struggling today and just thinking ..I have a nuclear bone scan on Monday and rheumy said not to take my Arcoxia a couple days before the scan. Really panicking about this as pain is severe at times even with painkillers!

Just interested to hear other people’s experiences when having the scan and if any of you took anti inflammatory before hand?

Hi Zoe, thanks for sharing your story and great to hear you have a bone scan scheduled. Hope it goes well!

It may be worth speaking to your GP or healthcare professional about what they'd recommend to help in the days leading up to the scan if you can't take your usual Arcoxia. In the meantime, the Arthritis Action website has a number of useful pages on ways you can manage your arthritis on your own, such as dietary information, pain management, and exercises to help reduce painful symptoms.
