@windyshores is a PET SCAN something you can tolerate? It’s not as detailed or specific as a normal CT but may help. It uses a radioactive glucose injection. I have tinnitus also but must have regular MRIs of my head to monitor things. Any loud noise only increases the tinnitus temporarily for me. Nothing permanent from the scans. It sounds like you have lots of reasons to have hip pain with the spinal and joint issues. Have you tried physical therapy for this pain?

I had an abdominal CT scan with oral contrast that was iodine (radioactive) and had a terrible reaction.

I just looked up the glucose injection Fluorodeoxyglucose and apparently it is okay for kidneys so I will look into that.

Spinal fractures don't affect hip. The pain at hip is far greater than other places and I expected more severe arthritis there, not "mild." Like I say, I tend not to be a worrier so I have not pushed for scans. I'll take care of the small hard lump first- probably a cyst

I had mild tinnitus and forgot about at an immersive museum musical performance. Tinnitus went way up. I was distressed but have accommodated to it. It does go up and down (leaf blower in next door yard for instance). I am nervous that it will increase permanently again but will of course so an MRI that is absolutely necessary. Neuro wants one of neck but asked if I would change what I was doing knowing results and I said no, no surgery yet, so he cancelled it!
