I had a ct of the the right hip to rule out a orthopedic problem but all that showed up was FREE FLOATING FLIUD IN MY PELVIS !!!!!! I had never heard of this before. I did think the worst,I saw my doctor who ordered an ultrasound of the pelvis that showed the same.So now I am to have a ct of the pelvis.I searched the internet for days to even find this problem, which I have yet to do. Reading your e-mail at least gave me some hope knowing that someone else has at least heard of this problem.I wish you the best with your situation.I will follow up with the ct scan. The lack of concern that my doctors are showing may be a good sign as well.I do wish that some information out there did exist for this problem. good luck
