RparrI've been gaslit by my MRI results once again. I've had achilles pain for 2 years and got a clean MRI back yesterday. I was definitely expecting to see tendonopathy
This has happened to me with my knee as well, years of pain only to get a clean MRI. Am I just crazy apparently?
My roommate is a pro snowboarder and has been struggling with some phantom pains like this over the past year and the docs couldn’t figure it out,
first they said Achilles tendinitis, then they said tendonopothy, then they said he was fine despite the brutal pains.
Finally he went to a pain specialist who looked more holistically, did full body scans, eventually they found some additional back stuff from an old injury that was causing it. He’s still struggling a bit but he’s back to a more normal lifestyle and not just trapped on the couch in excruciating pain.
reccomend finding a pain specialist who will look at your whole body, orthos tend to get hung up on one specific body part or injury and not consider the whole picture
