Hello there,
Has your father ever been to see a chiropractor? A chiropractor as
defined in the dictionary, is the manipulation of joints, esp of the spine,
to alleviate nerve pressure as a method of curing disease. You say your
father is having severe pain just below the shoulder blades.My husband
suffered a similar injury after lifting an extremely heavy object. These
sorts of injuries are not just caused by lifting heavy objects. If you can
get your father to a chiropractor to have him seen by one, this may help.
My husband and I both go to a chiropractor for regular adjustments.
You see these sorts of injuries cannot be detected by MRI's or even
ultrasounds. I'm not a medical professional, but I have been in two car
accidents and I have had to have the services of a chiropractor for a
number of years now. I wish you and your father well. Evewisewoman
Idk what state your in but i would go to a research/hospital, here we have wake forest & duke. I went 6 months & 2 surgeries on my knee until i went to wake & they did a test similar to an ultrasound & then to confirm an mri then found chrondomalasia on my knee (the bone looks all stuffed up like the surface of the moon) something could show up on an mri but w out a good doc to thoroughly look at it would go unnoticed. That's my advice bc after the 1st surgery (a knee specialist cut it open & still couldn't see it) i was determined to get down to what was really causing my pain, bc the 1st surgery only fixed a tear, Idk how he missed the actual bone so that's y u gonna find the best & retest! Hope this helps
