Maybe an MRI would show real cause of pain.?

Between the point of your shoulder and your nipple? Check your spleen with an echo. Anything more than 5%over expected is too much. If so, call Angela Dispenzieri or Martha Grogan at Mayo-MN

Welcome, Patricia @pagray24

No definitive diagnosis is certainly discouraging. What kind of tests have been done? Have you seen specialists? I know others will offer ideas and roads to pursue. Keep us posted.

Hello Patricia, @pagray24 and welcome to Mayo Connect. As I looked at Judy's suggestion regarding an MRI, I was wondering have you had an MRI? If not, what other diagnostic tests have been done? We look forward to hearing from you again.

@pagray24

Ophthalmologist? Just kidding! I hope you have good insurance. Your list is certainly impressive. No definitive diagnosis, even with all of these specialists? If I had that list, therapist and psychiatrist would be on it.

Perhaps something you read here will spark a helpful thought.
