I am just now getting a cervical spine MRI later today!
The hardest thing about PCS is that there is no one doctor coordinating the different specialists. And the learning curve is steep-who has been through this before?
Some primary care / family doctors can help coordinate, but sometimes it is hard.
I would get her neck examined. I didn't realize I had a low range of motion (look straight then look to right over shoulder and then left over shoulder) until my pt checked. Then the neurology dept. discovered I have numbness in arms and legs (pin check). On the long list of ailments, the numbness was low on the list.
Maybe a neurologist could do a complete re-check of symptoms. the UCSF clinic on Parnassus is first rate--Perhaps you could get a referral?
Good luck, poor petal!
