Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My adult son has had neck and back pain in increasing severity; He keeps getting sent to therapists and pain management clinics with no help; he move to Missouri from LA and feels no one wants to help him in Missouri. Even though he had some records sent from a Dr. in LA showing that he does have a 1mm shift in one of his discs, the doctors in Missouri say they can t see it on their MRI s. He is tired and frustrated and about ready to give up. He is 27, married for a year and trying to go back to school, but it is difficult for him
Hello, regarding the situation of your son i suggest him to have a X ray to see if there is scoliosis which may cause this pain. after that, he should have some physical therapy for his neck and back, to strengthen the muscles and to correct his posture as possible. Best, Anisa
