I am 35 years old with a lot of health problems including the most recent findings like MDS and mixed connective tissue disease. After having a bone scan and an MRI of my thighs, I was referred to an oncologist for further evaluation. I was seen by the oncologist a few days later and I had to do a bone marrow aspiration the same day which was the most painful procedure I’ve ever experienced. I am awaiting the results of that and have an appointment scheduled for March 27. I have had tons of blood work done, but they are all normal for the most part. The MRI showed inhomogeneous appearing marrow of both left and right femurs. Infiltrative marrow process cannot be excluded. And the bone scan report stated there is an increase in the cortex along the femurs and tibias bilaterally consistent with hyperostosis. No focal lesions are noted. There are degenerative changes in the joints of the upper and lower extremities. Right breast hyperostosis of the bones of the lower extremity and arthritic changes without focal lesions. Does this sound like MDS or something else?
