I feel terrible! Hospital maybe??New UPDATE!

Lut, that sounds like a bone density test. They use that to test for Osteoporosis but I imagine it could reveal other things as well. You continue to be in my daily prayers. I'll bet those furry nurses are working overtime on this job.

Thanks, Slick! That is exactly what it is called in English "Bone Density test"!
Did you ever had it? What do they do exactly?

I've had several bone density tests. Seems the medication I take for my thryroid has a history of degenerating (is that the right word?) the bones, so I had to take a baseline test a few years ago, then about once every other year I get one. Last time my spine density was ok, but my hip density was borderline osteoporosis - I've got the hips of a 70 year old....or maybe a 74 year old and that's why I feel the way I do!

Anyway, Lut, it's a piece of cake. Just wear pants with no metal zipper or snaps. You lay on a table and there's an "arm" that goes over you that has the "camera" in it. The technician snaps a picture, moves the arm a fraction of an inch, snaps another picture, moves the arm a fraction of an inch, snaps another picture etc. All you do is lay as still as possible. No pain, no needles, no goopy stuff like an ultrasound - you just lay there and a few minutes later you're done!

These tests are so easy that I find it hard to believe that more women don't have them done. My mom absolutely positively REFUSES to have one done. Anyway, I sure hope it gives more insight into what's wrong with you, Lut. Good luck!

I had a bone density test a few years ago. It doesn't hurt at all.
The noise the machine makes during the test was the only down side.
It's good you are getting a through testing to find an answer to your pain.
