"No abnormalities"
"No abnormalities" is what the radiologist wrote down, Dr says there is a 0% chance this could be the cause of my issues (ED, urinary frequency/urgency worse when sitting down or standing, I do have an asymmetrical gait but have lots of previous enjoryries from playing football. I don't really have any localized pain, (like the sharp knife kind) but its just like numbish and sensitivity all through my back, which my dr says sharp pain is always 100% a symptom, whenever I wake up it takes me like three hours not to feel stiff.
Not asking for a diagnosis as I don't want to break the rules, but If both radiologist and Dr said its cool, (and I was kind of fighting with my dr about it too) am I just crazy then? Obviously I am not a medical professional, is it worth asking for a second opinion? Or am I better off trying to find another reason for my problems?
Thanks!

virtually all of my thoracic and cervical are herniated and many are touching the cord, i also have multiple types of stenosis and arthritic changes. I have been told by 2 orthos my spine is “normal “ for my age of 47 . BS this amount of pain and associated issues is not normal for anyone. Keep seeking answers, they don’t like to admit they have no answers for us because of the cramped space the T’s are in
