What state do you live in?
It sounds like you need a new pediatrician that specializes in special needs children and Down syndrome treatments, a new pediatric spine specialist and neurologist for testing, a physical therapist who specializes with special needs children, etc.
If I was in your situation, I would talk to an attorney and consider filing a charge/claim against the school that put your child in the restraint. I would also get all medical records and notes and review them in detail. You should clearly see the list of radiologist’s impressions from the MRI. It should show in the report if there are osteophytes/bone spurs, disc bulges, impact on spinal cord and nerve roots (stenosis/compression), etc.
Your child may be having extra symptoms beyond the normal due to chronic pain/neurological symptoms that need to be properly assessed and treated. Medications may need to be adjusted and pain management options explored.
