Hello all, hope you are all doing well, I haven't been on here much since my last clear scan, but here I am a nervous wreckSob was told I had tennis elbow then told bursitis had 2 xrays 1 ct scan to be told oestomelitis 2 weeks iv antibiotics to then have bone scan went to ortho today bone scan result they done whole body but left my elbows of so no result, then he went on to say think we will refer for ct biopsy on elbow I asked what he thought all he said was it could be infection it could be a spread of my bowel cancer I went boiling hot felt sick now my brain a big mushie mess again.

Anyone heard of bowel going to elbow joint olceranon part.

I so fed up feeling like a nervous wreck

  • Hi 

    That would put you in the extremely, extremely rare category. I don’t think in the ten years I have been here I have ever heard of that pattern of spread ! So I am surprised to hear that for sure !

    Did you not have an old riding injury on your thigh ? My mum got sent for various tests to exclude lumps and bumps . I think anyone with a previous cancer diagnosis gets the gold standard of care but it’s not easy emotionally! 
    Have I read this correctly. You got a Ct for your elbow  but they forgot to include the elbow and the orthopaedic consultant said he would eliminate as a point of good practice but not because he saw anything concerning because that area was not included .

    Take care ,

  • Hi Court lovely to hear from you,

    I had 2 xray which showed oestomelitis then had ct scan still showed oestomelitis but cause of cancer history they wanted bone scan so they could look at bone in elbow but they scanned everything but elbow so he now wants ct guided biopsy of olceranon,

    How is you mum I often think of her Sparkling heartSparkling heart

  • Thorough for sure ! But sounds as though they are being very cautious and that’s a good thing I guess !

    Mum is really picking up again and heading away for a wee holiday . No more scans now so it’s all a bit strange after so long !

    Definitely holding out for good news on your elbow !

    Take care ,
