Q: hi, can i get a second opinion for my x-ray? and what would you recommend for it?

: WHy would you need a second opinion on an xray? A xray is limited in its ability to help diagnose certain conditions. You may need to ask your doctor for a second opinion over all. Better than x-ray is CT or MRI.
