Question Second & third opinions....

AJ, good point -- now is the time to get as many diagnostic opinions as possible!

Symara, which facet is cracked? What imaging did the doctor have that led to this finding -- was it different than the imaging the other docs used? Sometimes, the imaging equipment between different doctors can (and usually does) make all the difference in the world. That's why some patients will travel to other states to get a much closer look -- literally.

I suppose I would be concerned if two different doctors looked at the same imaging, and only one found the cracked facet. Is this the case?
