It sounds like you're doing a great job sticking with this issue and doing all the work to figure out what's going on. From that description, it sounds like surgery with a soft tissue surgeon (rather than a general practitioner, although that depends on how comfortable your regular vet is with surgery I suppose) is the next step! It sounds like you're getting close to resolving things. I hope you can get a surgery consult soon. Good luck!
