What does mri does not correlated well with symptoms mean?

You had a : Complaint. They ordered an mri. They found something, but it does not explain the symptoms or the complaint that you had (weakness, numbness, twitch, head ache). So the test did not help make a diagnosis, or find a remedy for why you went to the doctor that ordered the test.

Findings not helping: Findings on MRI do not explain the symptoms the patient is having. For example, bulging disks or narrowed neural foramina do not match the anatomic levels of the symptoms of bulging disks or sciata (low back pain traveling down leg). Consider other reasons for symptoms.
