[|Human|] My husband had a xray done on his shoulder and the doctor said there was some bone shrinkage. he referred him to a specialist he was told the xrays showed black spots on his shoulder blade and has to have an MRI. I am really freaked out. his mom died at 52 with bone cancer.
[|AI|]  Hello, It would be good if you do an MRI to rule out cancer as he has a genetic history. Bone shrinkage is termed as osteopenia I.e. loss of bone that occurs due to low calcium in body(calcium is required for bone formation) but this is not limited to one joint or bone and is generalized in the body which is not in your castle black spots in the shoulder X-ray suggest bone loss that points more toward a tumor. Hope this helps you and your husband recovers soon thank you
