The Docs with an ER Doctor about the missed diagnosis, they talk with a caller a back injury he sustained in a car accident. They talk about the business of medicine.
The doctors discuss callers bulging disc, a stress fracture in the tailbone. Talked with callers about foot issues.
Spine authority Dr. Scott Blumenthal joins Dr. Souryal to talk of homecomings, tailgating, turf, knees, necks, and backs, too.
Discussions range from the difference between a crick and a pinched nerve to why the pain in a herniated disc may come and go, the difference between mechanical and medical problems, and what an X-ray can and cannot show.
Callers include a a little league coach with a sudden shoulder pain, a hiker who broke her ankle in Hawaii, a runner/biker with a numb foot, a golfer with shoulder trouble, and so many more. An active five year old had a rare PCL injury on a trampoline and her parents wonder if there are new surgical options that may stabilize her knee without requiring her to wear a brace for years. The show ends on a high note with a call about arthritis and a miracle pill.
