Edema: In such cases I feel the ordering physician should sit down with the radiologist who interpreted the study and ask for a differential diagnosis, what, if any, further studies would be recommended and/or what type of specialist could shed more information on your case taking into consideration your symptoms or why the MRI was ordered.

This can: be an incidental finding without much clinical significance, particularly in heavier people. However, it could also represent muscle injury or inflammation so you should talk to your doc about what it might mean in your particular case.
