It sounds like you: ...have already seen a doctor about this since you have an appointment for the MRI. MRI's can diagnose, but they can't treat. ER visits are expensive. Keep you appointment for the MRI, follow up with the doctor you've already seen and continue any patient care instructions that s/he has already given you. Dr. Anne
