Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM.

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.


Findings are normal for your age and the procedure of stenting done on you,in a patient with prostatic cancer and pain we actually do radiograph to see if God forbid it has invaded the back bone which isn't the case according to this report which is a good news.Now comming to points of report individually.

1-"Dystrophic calcification" which may reflect injection site granulomas=may be during your treatment of surgical procedure an injection was given to you which got infected or got allergy and a granuloma was formed there and calcium deposited in that space formed by inflammation this is called dystrophic calcification.

Do yo have to worry about it? NO


2-Vascular phlebitis means inflamed veins and this is very treatable with simple meds so no worries .

3-Vascular calcification: there can be parts in a vessel artery or vein in which some calcium can deposit and this is present in 99.9% human beings of your age , if not 100% .

4- You feel pain while getting up : for that talk to an expert of joint Rheumatologist and hopefully every thing will get well

Our comments:

Your Pelvis is better looking than most in your age
