Got three MRIs done -one after my accident in 2008, another in 2009 - first brain+cervical, second cervical, third in 2013 - lumbar detailed, cervical screening. Disc bulge at C6-C7, but doctors noted in 2014 its not a cause of my issues. It makes sense, because when I looked at the 2009 report, it says no impingement in foraminal areas, which in hindsight should have been a big flag for me to get away from a doctor who was happily stringing me along saying it was a disc issue. I finally got to know in 2014 that it was not spondylitis but TOS - took 4 doctors to do that. Six years of my life wasted, living in misery without even an accurate diagnosis.
