This is a long shot, but I'm having a really hard time getting the information I need from my doctor team.
Long story short, I was bitten by a dog last September. Have been to numerous doctors, the wait times are out of control (seeing a neurologist next on April 13.)
I had an MRI and feel the radiologist may have missed some scar tissue formation and I believe that's impacting my nerve and/or tendon function.
My thumb has been sluggish and moves really slowly but strength is okay.
I have my MRI and some screenshots I'll happily post if someone here is qualified to give a second opinion. Radiologists often miss things since they don't know what the real symptoms are and the doctor I WAS working with didn't even open the MRI to review himself.
If anyone is qualified and willing to help, I'll post screenshots of the key MRI pictures.
Disclaimers:
- I know "go see a doctor" and forums don't replace medical advice
- I've seen several doctors, a specialist in hand occupational therapy
- I don't have time to be waiting months between visits and need answers so maybe someone in the drumming community can help me out
Thanks
