On its face that sounds actionable. Professionals seldom offer apologize because in many places an apology is tantamount to an admission of guilt/wrongdoing. It's not always the individual's choice; attorneys, insurance companies, ets. often issue edicts against such.
From the image, I don't see any hardware, and the disc spacing appears (to my untrained eye) to be unremarkable.
The... whatever it is—doesn't appear the same as bone. There appear to be three shapes above the object but none below it; I don't know what they are.

I've been offered no further testing but just been told to take Morphine which I have refused. Starting to take narcotics for undiagnosed pain and pathology is on the slippery slope to oblivian and I'm not going there yet.

Narcotics are not offered lightly. They're acknowledging your physical pain, and that's something. I won't try to sway you on this, but pain is something I know a little about from personal experience and many years involvement in/with chronic pain support groups. What I know is that pain medications
can make a huge difference in quality of life when taken/used responsibly, and bonafide pain patients seldom run into the problems abusers do.
