My son is 13 and developed hip pain, after a MRI it showed swelling in the top part of the femur and inside the bone. Alot of inflammation in the hip, along with stress point on the top of the femur. We just did a lot of blood work, and everything is negative. The doctor wants to do a MRI with contrast and a some kind of nuclear test to see around the bone. I was told it is very invasive. My son had scarlet sever when he was 4. Could this have caused it, and any other test you recommend besides this ?
I understand your case and your fears. The major suspension of your physician is to diagnose malignant mass. I am sorry to told you this, but these investigations are for. Scarlet fever has minimal role for this I advise you to follow up with your physician and do investigations.
