Has anyone seen Dr. Sink at HSS? I just saw dr. Nawabi and he was amazing. He wants to schedule surgery for the labral tear but referred me to Dr. sink to do a pao. I’m not very familiar with this and wondering if anyone has experience to share about dr sink. Thanks!
i have been dealing with mid thoracic back pain for 15 years (im 22) ive been to what feels like every doctor. im gonna try to sum it up but recently i learned about ehlers danlos and it describes me perfectly and i am trying to go about getting a diagnosis. I have had countless imaging of my back and several doctors tell me there’s nothing there and brush it off. i was just admitted for 5 days from the pain. i have no quality of life and now am unemployed from pain. the only thing to have ever given me relief was the chiropractor. i saw him until like 2022 when i got a chiari malformation diagnosis and learned about the dangers of chiropractors and havent been able to go since. i suffer every day with this back pain. i lay on a heating pad all day and use a foam roller for relief. im starting to think the pain is coming from my ribs. i like the stretch my back a lot to make it feel better and move it in such weird ways trying to crack it. it’s also really hard to get a full deep breath. i have mild to moderate scoliosis too but was told that wouldn’t be causing this intense pain. im wondering if this sounds like slipping rib to anyone. or something wrong with my ribs connected to my spine. i do get sharp pain in my chest to but not to the degree of my back pain as that is constant. what kind of doctor would diagnose this? i feel like this is just urgent at this point because i am literally bedridden. im really posting to see if anyone has similar experiences and was able to find relief as im really desperate. ive had countless mris,ct scans, and xrays that show nothing.
