Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

An MRI of your wife's spinal ( thoracic ) column is necessary to get a correct diagnosis of the condition.

In such cases, spinal stability is crucial and this is evaluated better with the MRI.

An evaluation by a Neurosurgeon or spine specialist is necessary also to complete the diagnostic process and to evaluate the appropriate treatment possibilities.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
