A member asked:
Sharp twinges in right shoulder and front ribs and back felt daily for 8 months, mri of upper back clear, would this have detected a problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Mri only sees the area scanned. If the problem is in your shoulder or cervical spine, which it sounds it is, MRI of upper thoracic spine will not see it.
