MRI Needed: 30 year old male w. acute bilateral arm parasthesias has worrisome symptoms, especially if there was recent head/neck trauma. These symptoms raise question of cervical spine integrity. I vote for urgent evaluation & Neurologist's opinion. Not to perform an MRI might initiate medical misadventure. Head weighs about 10 pounds &, when body upright, places biomechanical force upon the cervical spine.
