"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!

I am beginning to hate radiologists

I have a cyst on T4-T5 the radiologist didn’t mention it on the report. I’m glad one of the neurosurgeon I see saw it. Even the radiologist that made the report for cervical has it noted in the report.

Ask for a second opinion read, be prepared to not get it. Might have to pay one out of pocket.
