I have the same injury, since early 2000...10 yrs now, I am still trying to convince the doctors about the needle injury, but they are blind sided and never bother to check it yet, they are not taking me seriously.
We do not have hospital here in our town, we have to fly out for medical attention....I think they are avoiding it intentionally....very distressful and burden to the family...I have ask for MRI, but was turn down too costly for my government to fly me out.....I think they are just scared to find out ....
