Need the report..: The MRI isn't the best test to look for a fracture of the sacrum. (X-rays are the best, followed by CT scan). The MRI report should tell you if there's any swelling or bruising in the area, which is common after a fall on concrete. Perhaps that's what they meant by "fine". In any case, load the report onto HealthTap Prime & talk to the doctor who ordered the test to discuss. Is draining possible?
