    Doctor ordered a CT scan, which only clearly shows the bones. I have rib issues which includes cartilage. The doctor stated he wasn't going to order any more tests because he didn't believe there's anything wrong. I am still in pain and discomfort for the last 10 years. I just wanted to find out what was wrong and if anything could be done about it. The doctor pretty much the rub his hands in recommended somebody else take care of the problem. The doctor is pretty much worthless.
