Hello. i have had pain in my right shoulder and upper arm for 3 months now. i have had x ray and bone scan. my gp says it may be a bone island or pott?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A "bone island": is a common incidental finding of no clinical significance. Pott disease is tuberculosis of the spine. There couldn't be two more opposite entities, so is there more specific information you can provide?
