Question
betrayed
Yesterday I was at my doctors, I asked him to do a chest xray and a referal for a PFT in preperation for my asbestosis claim. Anyway I was looking at the chest xray and it seems my spine between my shoulder blades is not strait, it kinda curves. They shoot a 2nd xray and my spine is also curved on that one. I asked the doctor about it and he said yes it was curved but not enough to get him excited. :) (He says my lungs look pretty good but is gonna get em read by radiologist.)
Considering the problem I am having with my claim for my herniated disk http://www.hadit.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2635&hl= I got real excited. Isnt there a condition where your muscles spasm and they can mis align your spine to one side or the other?
I am seeing another neurosurgeon in two weeks to get a second opinion on my disk, the first guy wanted to immediatley operate. I think I should take these xrays along with my MRI to this appointment. Is there specific things I need to ask this doctor to document to help my case?
