Sometimes they are missed or not actually checked for by drs or techs..or imaging misses them..
We can request a new PCP but that takes roughly 6-8 weeks. Just leads to more waiting for dd.

One doctor she saw did mention and extra rib and had an MRI done but the imaging department said all was normal.

We are considering changing PCP if we do not get any help from Pain Doc or PT. It just adds more time to her waiting with nothing getting done. I am still working with geneticists who is trying to get us a cash price for testing he wants to do. At this point we are prepared to borrow anything we cant not cover ourselves. The geneticists is also having another radiologist/neurologist look over her MRI to see if there is anything that has been missed.
