Here is another tip which might help. This is not meant to be taken in any way other than as a way to help you. Instead of posting bits and pieces of the pathology report and asking us to try to interpret it, how about going back to one of your doctors and ask them to fully explain it. Im not trying to be offensive in any way. I know you are suffering and need help so this is an idea I had for you to get the path report understood. Just remember none of us are medical professionals with years and years of medical training and hands on patient experience. We dont know your entire medical history and wouldnt know what the implications of different ailments would have on the tests given. By returning back to your doc and asking for them to explain it in detail (line by line if necessary) you are advocating for yourself and the doctor should give you respect and realize your situation and hopefully put your mind at ease. I feel just awful that you are suffering for months and that even after finding the bone problem it hasnt worked to cure you.

Good luck, I hope you find the source of your discomfort. I also hope that the answer isnt cancer.


PS... If its nerve pain you are having, ask to try gabapentin. It worked wonders for me when I was having that type of pain.
