Just relieved- not spondylolysis

[flipper's fan]

I have been quite stressed for a few weeks. DD complained of back pain a few weeks ago and ...yadayadayada... the orthopedist sent her for a bone scan due to the prevalence of this injury in gymnasts. I withheld some informaiton from her so she wouldn't worry, DH thought that the test was overcautious, but I have been holding on to all this worry by myself for a few weeks.

Even though it's the "good kind", I could not envision 12 weeks of that girl in a brace and trying to keep her from doing sports- like things.

I just needed to share my relief with people who really understand what it's been like waiting for what turned out to be good news.

wonderful news ! glad your worry was for nothing, but not glad that you had to worry for weeks, ugh.

So glad that you got good news back on the scan. Do they know what is causing her pain?

Thank you all so much for your well wishes. I'm feeling better.

Deanna, the doctor thinks it's muscular- maybe hyperextended, pulled or twisted too much or possibly a bruise/contusion below the surface.
