re:
Update: internal medicine dr says my MRI is "normal" and did not bother to elaborate each of the findings. He said 80% of us walk around with these findings on a daily basis and moved on to other things in my chart. He referred me to a Ortho Dr. who said MRI is "normal", gave me 2 more weeks of physical therapy and dismissed me. I was in so much pain that a few hours later I went to the ER (my neck hurts really bad in the back and on the side of my neck, shoulders hurt and pain is tingling and numbing down my arms). ER Dr. did a CT and said it was normal, but disagreed that my MRI from the other Drs was normal. ER said when other symptoms are present these type of findings are not normal and referred me to another Ortho for another MRI. ER diagnosis was cervical radiculopathy. I am in such pain and need to know what is causing it. My accident was low impact and there is barely any damage to my car. The pain, aches, and such did not start until after the accident. Any other ideas on what I can do to narrow down the pain, tests, other drs. By the way, I am seeing a network of drs my lawyer refers me to, these drs. are quick to dismiss me without asking about my pain, symptoms, etc. They just jot down notes and move on to the next client.
