My doctor told me I should get an MRI. Is that something I should have done?

An MRI is a good idea if you are experiencing pain or numbness in your back, neck, or other areas of the body. It can help to determine whether there is damage to the spinal cord, nerves, or other parts of the body. If you feel like you may need further evaluation, it is important to talk to your doctor about what tests and procedures they recommend.
