A member asked:
I have psa - bone scan report says there is an increased activity and uptake of the left si joint, both shoulders and tmj. what does this mean for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some...: What does "PSA" mean in this question? A blood test or a clinical syndrome? Please specify it so an answer to the point could be given. Bone scan showing hot spots at the joints usually suggests the presence of some inflammation - arthritis. For detailing, ask the attending doctor ordering bone scan, who should possess more pertinent info about you than anyone online.
