A member asked:
My surgeon say my new post fusion pain is soft tissue. pt says nerve or tendon. d.o. days might need bone scan. who do i trust? start may, fuse feb.

Nerve and tendon are: considered soft tissue, as is muscle, veins etc. Anything not bone. Bone scan is helpful to see evidence of abnormal permeability due to infection, inflammation or tumor. The surgeon has advised you to do what? Go to PT and take tylenol (acetaminophen)? You have pain 3-4 months after surgery which is not uncommon. If the problem persists another month I would say see a neurologist or a PMR MD. (or DO)
