On An Abdominal CT Scan That I Had In May,

default
Posted on Tue, 14 Jul 2020
Question: On an abdominal CT scan that I had in May, the impressions listed "nonspecific small lucent lesions in the posterior right iliac bone measuring up to 5 mm." Back around October-December, I had (and am currently having) pain in that area and saw a PCP about it. She sent me to physical therapy where the PT said that she thought the pain was a result of my hips being out of alignment or something to that effect. I guess my question is could these small lesions be causing pain in that area? Could these lesions be concerning? I also have a small 6 mm osteochondroma on my chest which I already knew about.
