My new pain doc is going to gather up all of my images and he promised to look at them with me.

For some of you, this may already have been done.

But for me, (maybe this is work comp, low level care), but I've seen 30 doctors and they ALL went off of the radiologists' view of the images and just off of the radiologists written report. (Except Brantigan who read his own, and briefly Annest looked at some.) But my primary neuro never looked at my images himself. All of the imaging that was done by ER also was not looked at my any neuro, vascular surgeon, etc., but just by the radiologist.

The reason I think this issue of who looks at the ACTUAL IMAGES is important, is that in watching all of those Mystery Diagnoses programs on Discovery, I noticed that notable findings can be missed, and it is finally when the specialist re-looks at the images that they see the culprit.

I think this is important especially in our TOS diagnoses all TOS symptoms could be, as we've discussed, cervical radiculopathy, or a myriad of other causes. I've already posted that by watching Mystery Diagnosis, that there was one man who had our symptoms and his problem was calcified lymph nodes in the thorax spine area. Another one had blood clots on her cervical spine area. Both were operable and were cured.

So maybe consider getting your actual images to a new doc, or to your current doc if they haven't looked, and look at them WITH the doc, to discuss what they might see.

God bless us all in our healing paths.
