A member asked:
Normal cervical mri for upper back pain. my doctor said chronic muscloskeletal pain? what do i do for this besides physical therapy.

See details: It is difficult to say without being able to perform an exam and review the MRI. A cervical MRI is to evaluate neck pain and not upper back pain. See an orthopedist or rheumatologist.
