Hello
Wonder if anyone can help? When I first developed symptoms in my legs my doc odered me a lower MRI scan.
Because my symptoms had got worse they decided for a full MRI.
I have had an appointment through for a spine lumber/sacral MRI is this the one for the lower back only?
If it is should I cancel it or should I have both?
Hi Reebe, yes I think the MRI is for spine only. What you really need is brain and spine MRI.
Who ordered the MRI? Whoever it was (GP or neuro?) I would suggest you contact them and ask why they haven’t ordered brain and spine.
I don’t quite understand when you say ‘should I have both’. Have they ordered 2 MRI scans for you?
I certainly wouldn’t cancel an MRI as there might be something showing that didn’t show on your previous MRI. But I think you should find out if you are also to have a brain MRI scan.

Hi Reeb, your question got me puzzled, I have problems walking and spasticity in my lower back yet the neuro ordered brain and cervical for mine. I think it just depends on the physical examination and history maybe ? Frank
Hi Don’t cancel it, I had one which lead to another, if you cancel you will go in the loop again and you will have a longer wait
