I had an autoimmune doc who wouldn't bother to tell be the results of MRI's, blood work and other various scans he'd ordered. So I thought everything was fine. As one appointment was ending I asked him about all the X-rays and scans I'd had 4 months prior. He had forgot I had them and looked them up on his computer. After looking at them he said my back was very bad and could easily fracture. He'd known for 4 months how bad my back was and never warned me! What if I fell off my horse? I quit riding once I understood my condition.
I've had to endure two back surgeries this year and I suspect the neurosurgeon screwed up the first.
I hope you look into what you can do about your doctor. They need to be held accountable.
If you can afford a replacement, do it ASAP. Don't suffer. I had my ankle replaced and wish I'd done it sooner.
