A member asked:
I had a nuclear medicine scan and was told i had an increased ischium vertabrae. can this cause severe lower back pain?

Usually not: Usually these are radiologic novelties. If you think it bothers you, see your doctor.

Maybe: Sounds like you had a nuclear medicine bone scan. An abnormal finding on this study could certainly help identify the cause of low back pain. The term "ischium vertebrae" is not commonly used, I have not run across it before. Would get clarification from the person who interpreted your scan so you can more clearly know what is going on. The ischium is a pelvic bone separate from the vertebra.
