I have fibromyalgia and when I had my scan on my spine these two things shown up on it, a haemangioma and an incomplete butterfly vertebra. Does anybody know what these are as I didn’t have it explained to me! Wondering if it could be why I always have back pain!

Hi there Laurenjf good morning, I looked this up and this is what I found. If you need more information on this I think it would help you to talk with your GP.
