Anyone ever had a Bone scan before ??

I'm supposed to go and have a bone scan on Wednesday morning. I was under the assumption that it was like an MRI, where they just put you through a doughnut to look at stuff more closely.
I was told that this is going to be an all day deal with an injection first, and waiting awhile for it to take affect ( 4hours ), and then doing some sort of a scan process.
I'm assuming that they're going to give the injection right into the bone, right ?? Ouch !! And what's this scan process ?? They were vague at best explaining it, almost to where they didn't want to tell me, or I wouldn't show up for my appt. LOL.
What the Heck am I in for ??
