First, OP was misleading in her statement of "emergency surgery"
Emergency surgery, to me, is, let's wheel you down to the cutting room right now.
This surgery was merely a very quickly scheduled surgery, definately not an emergency.
Second, due to OP's minimal information and her situation, the recommendation for a third opinion was definately not out of place.

You have no damages that would not have occurred if everything was done perfectly.
Not true. OP suffered continue pain, at least, due to bad Dx. Pain can be a recoverable injury. Also notice the follow up where she was limited in life actions. Also could be a compensable damage.
Hell, I got money from a suit because my wife couldn;t have sex with me for awhile. I would suspect if there is a Mr.Mylittleangels around, he even has a possible claim. I believe it is termed "loss of consortium"

Misreading the x-ray, if that truly happened, did not cause your problems.
OP posts:
My neck had been damaged from leaving it so long.
Sounds like the lack of treatment may have caused some damage. Again, OP's statements are a bit lacking in definition so it is impossible to state anything with assuredness or accuracy.
If waiting did cause some actual damage rather than it caused a temporary situation, then OP may have a cause of action.
Find a medmal attorney to review the case. If you have permanent damage, you
may very well have a claim against the radiologist and the first doctor mentioned. Your info is too inaccurate and indefinate to make any real call here.
