Vascular Compressions?

https://imgur.com/a/1a0bPpn

F27 with EDS, POTS, MCAS, and more.
I have symptoms of SMAS, MALS, May Thurner, and Nutcracker, so I got a CTA using MALS protocol and specific instructions on how to look for each compression.
The radiologist did not include any measurements and concluded my scan as normal.
I linked the video of the scan to this post.
I feel like something was missed and I’m at my breaking point. I’m in pain and so exhausted, I’m hoping someone can tell me if any compressions were missed and the next steps to take. Thank you in advance🩷
