Dr. Reichwage acknowledged usefulness of proper diagnosis of chronic mid-thoracic back pain regardless of scoliosis likely causing pain to further rule out any other possible injuries like a compression fracture. In the event of discussing procedure to correct. No discussion of any new technology treatments or studies currently available, like fusion or gene therapy. Maybe because she would not have been a likely candidate or out of pocket cost, not sure. We were told if MRI doesn't reveal a compression fracture, then basically on to pain management, nerve blocks again and possible steroid injections with last resort being spinal cord stimulator implant with possibility of leads migration and breakage, not to mention possible spinal fluid leakage. Left feeling defeated, yet hopeful that we can discuss further options at follow-up appointment with discussion of MRI mid-thoracic results.

When the doctor arrived (this was our first visit, as my previous doctor had retired), he was thoroughly familiar with my case. I was impressed. He had definite ideas about my situation and future plans for care. I felt he was extremely knowledgeable, and I had great trust in his judgment. I left feeling I was in good hands.
