A member asked:

Something is wrong at my t12. my breathing can be restricted, i have severe stiffness but any exercise or stretching makes it worse. if i bend feels as if a sharp stick is poking me there. no core or upper body strength. how can i request an mri?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If appropriate, a physician would order an MRI, but perhaps a better way to start would be to obtain plain X-rays to exclude a vertebral body compression fracture. First, get fully evaluated by your doctor and discuss the next steps.
