Another Doctor Visit
Well, yesterday we took Heather to an orthopedic Surgeon. We arrived at 2:15 for our 2:30 appointment, filled out paperwork and then they called her back. We did not actually see the doctor until after 4pm. They took special x-rays that they said would show more than the MRI that we brought with us. The biggest problem I had with the whole experience is they were too busy focusing on her scoliosis. We know that she has a slight curve, we have been told that it is mild. We were not there for her scoliosis, we were there because of the degeneration that was visible to the chiropractor, family doctor and the person who did the MRI report.
Well, we left the office with this from the doctor:
1.) The curve of her spine is mild and will probably not progress much
more. She should not need a back brace or surgery.
~This is a relief. However, we had been told already that her curve was mild.
2.) The pain she was feeling in her back could not be from her scoliosis.
He did not know what was causing her occasional back pain.
~????????
3.) He did not see any degeneration at all.
~Ok, I know that he is supposed to be the expert, but 3 other medical professionals have seen it! Those people seeing it was what lead us to pay him a visit! He may be right, but I simply do not trust him.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want there to be something wrong with her. I really just wish he had taken it more seriously instead of blowing us off.
