| Try to get him a bone scan. It requires a IV injection, then a few hrs later, some xrays taken. My dd is a soccer/bball player and was injured last fall. Like your son, nothing showed up on regular xrays but pain came and went throughout soccer and bball seasons. Has never really been the same. Trying to play soccer again this spring and pain has gotten worse; it no longer subsides with rest, heat, or pain meds. Now the dr thinks she may have stress fractures in her lower spine that didn't show up on the regular xrays - hence, the bone scan... Check with your insurance company. You may have to get pre approval for this test. |
