I recently had a bone scan done because of having some joint pain. The bone scan showed that i have degenerative bone disease in my knees and it also showed that I have a hot spot in my left orbit and in my fifth and sixth ribs on the right side.

I am scared that this could be bone cancer. I asked my doctor when I talked to him about it and he said I don't think so but I want to do some more tests. He ordered an MRI of my left orbit w/o contrast and he also ordered an xray of my right rib cage.

Has anyone else had an abnormal uptake on their left orbit and had it be something else? I did not have any injury to either of these areas. I'm very scared.
