Radiation Injections not Cancer

Please help with my enquiry, my friend has an implant which over the years has worn away. It was to replace a bone in her body but has now started to disintegrate.

She told me to help with the pain she's given 'Radiation Injections' through our local hospital.

She does NOT have cancer or ever been diagnosed with it, so I wanted to know why would she have these injections, everywhere I look online only people with cancer are given these shots. So either she's telling porkys or is radiation used for other illnesses.

Thank you

Neil

    I do know that radiation injections are given to check for bone cancer, my son was diagnosed with what they thought might be a bone cancer the radiation gathers in the fast growing tissue, and thyroid.

    Really intersting to see on the scans as all the little stars or radiation floating through your blood stream, and gathers in the fast growing tissue, his tumor in his arm lit up like a xmas tree, the Dr's didn't have to tell me, we have a problem. 

    He had surgery the following morning at 7am, the speed the Dr's got off their butts was telling in itself, and techs telling me not to leave immediatly after the scan, but to sit and wait for the dr's to see you when we didn;t have an appt.

    Thank goodness turned out to be non-cancerous.

    A radioactive injection of Vitamin B12 was used in the "Schilling" test to diagnose Pernicious Anaemia when I was diagnosed with it in 1972.

    I hope you find an answer for your friend

    Could she have misunderstood what was said to her?  Why was the bone replaced in the first place?

    Its possible the MP is being done to assess her suitability for more bone surgery??

    Why do you think she is making it all up? to get sympathy,attention seeking?
