&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Julieg&amp;quot;] ps sorry the xray is not brilliant positioning wise and don&amp;#39;t have a VD as yet as she wouldn&amp;#39;t lie straight! (hope also you can see it on here as struggling to upload as too big?)[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The x-ray is about the size of a postage stamp I&amp;#39;m afraid - any chance of a bigger version?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&amp;#39;t have major alarm bells ringing from what you describe, esp if there&amp;#39;s no cough... but it wouldn&amp;#39;t do any harm to get some comprehensive bloods - serology, electrolyes, CBC &amp;amp; also urinalysis. A GA for rads based on what you describe might be a bit OTT.&lt;/p&gt;
