First time x-rays!

These aren't all the pictures they took but they're the ones I found most interesting.

The techs rushed me through it so a lot of the other shots don't look the greatest.

Got them done for severe right rhomboid pain plus back and legs getting weak and shaking and giving out on me/difficulty holding me up. Have to use a walking cane at this point. Not asking for a diagnosis just discussing my symptoms

Doctors said everything looks fine so I'm going to ask if an MRI is covered by insurance to rule out anything else. Also looking into physical therapy. Have gotten blood tests done as well. So far have been told fibromyalgia

Anyone else frustrated that test results turn out "fine", so obviously you shouldn't be in pain?

Been struggling with back pain since highschool. It started in my upper back, in-between my spine and my shoulder blade, idk how to describe it. Over the years it has only gotten worse. Now it's accompanied by fullbody pains, awful flares, and my back gets extremely weak and my arms and legs start shaking. Now it's progressed to my arms and legs going numb all the time as well. Some night the spot in my upper back starts siezing up and spasming and theres been times where I end up locked to the side as it spasms. I've ended up needing to use a cane anytime I'm outside of the house

Finally got an x-ray and the results all say that everything is normal. My bloodwork isn't as great, severe anemia and nutritional deficiencies, so every doctor says that once I start on the medication (Vitamin b12, vitamin d2, and iron) that everything should be fine again. Oh, also to lose weight. I have to keep reminding them that this pain had started way back when my blood levels were completely normal and I was skinny amd working out daily.

It gets frustrating that no one wants to listen to how bad it is!! And doctors keep telling me everything is normal. My primary care doctor told me I'm too young to be using a cane after I confessed that I need one now. It's progressed beyond just pain, it's fullbody weakness now too.

Everyone keeps thinking that because test results are "normal" that it must be MY fault I'm in pain. Then it makes me wonder if theyre right and I'm just stupid and dramatic.
