So his school doesn't pick up anything. The trainer was nice, he sent my son the readout on his MRI and sent a link to the school's insurance policies. They are not recommending their surgeon either, which is odd but ok. I don't have an issue putting on our insurance but getting the actual MRI images are a bit of a challenge as he's leaving MA today, BUT we figured it out.
We decided my wife will go with him to his second opinion, I would lean too heavily to surgery and he would lean the other way. She will ask all the right questions and be able to move our son in the right decision. His semester grades came in today and they are his best yet, so that will be our takeaway.
