Nope. Not without reading the report in order to try to understand why the PA said that
If the report does not note the fusion hardware and comment on whether there is a solid union etc, I am wondering if the radiologist mixed you up with someone else? I would think that even a poor MRI image would show the fusion hardware
If you don’t want to go back to the original surgeon the I would try to get a consultation with a different surgeon to review your case
Why do you call the surgeon a lier? Because he promised relief and you have had no relief?
Did you have an MRI done post surgery….maybe 90 days out or 6 months out…to confirm the fusion was a success before being released for work etc…?

I'm not going back to the lying surgeon that did the fusion.
Do you have any input on the PA stating I've got to get another MRI done in able for a different radiologist to review the images to get a worthwhile report?
