Although MRI is the gold standard, sometimes X-ray shows some kinds of bony problems better.

Hi Toormore, I am so sorry to learn of all the pain you are having to endure. Have the health professionals, who are caring for you offered alternative treatment, to ease your pain? I have tried various treatments and found its a case of trial and error. I wish I could suggest something which may help, at present , I have severe pain in back and feet , also had bone grafts, its no fun, especially if you have treatment and or surgery and continue to be in pain. I too have to visit orthotics and have some unfashionable shoes made, recently, orthopaedic surgeon has made a new prescription, and dear knows what I am to have made this time. I wish you all of the best c17

Sorry to hear you are suffering, welcome to forum.Dont know whats causing the pain but I know hoe serious brittle asthma is so anything that stops you from taking deep breaths had to be taken very seriously. You need to seek further help if this pain doesn't ease.

[Toormore]
