The large canal, MB1. He got this, cleaned it fully.

The more difficult to discern canal, MB2. He got the access to this (3 or 4 mm in) as in the image, it's easy to see (frontal plane, bottom left).

But said he couldn't get any farther in.

.......

Endo said he thinks neuropathy is a more likely explanation, but I've read so much about missed MB2 canals and continued symptoms and infection, seems more likely to me.

........

Basically, does that second image portray or convey an actual canal that could be MB2?

And it's not just a short access (3 or 4 mm the endo said) and nothing more?
