Was my doctor negligent? Your opinions please.

25. "none of those breaks resulted in DJD" --> that you know of yet.

You are much too good at ignoring pain, bunnies. Yes, it IS possible to break a bone and not know it, if you refuse to go to a doctor and get a diagnosis even when the whole arm becomes nearly useless. That's called "denial" and it isn't the doctor's fault.

I write with a certain degree of sympathy, because my mom was like that, and no need to go into the details because this is your thread.

Reading x-rays or other imaging is an art, but afaik telling you that you had a break in the past is not inconsistent with telling you that you now have DJD. The bone was injured and not treated and now it is worse.

I hope at this point you allow yourself to get adequate medical care, including physical therapy. Please write down all your questions in advance -- and write down the answers. Then follow instructions.

All the best to you in the future.
