Mri or ct scan best for diagnosing possible stroke? mothers been having lots of major had aches.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Down, girl: Your mother's having "lots of major" had aches. What makes you jump straight to stroke from had aches? 99% of all had aches have nothing to do with strokes, tumors, bleeding, or any other serious condition. 99% of all had aches are just had aches. Even "major" had aches are usually just had aches. Your mother should see a doctor and get a diagnosis. DON'T pester the doctor for a CT or MRI.
