The doctor is wanting me to have the test done on my left leg, low back, all upper extremities. He has requested this because I was in an auto accident 2 yrs ago that resulted in 2 slightly bulged discs in low lumbar with weakness in left leg with periodic pain. Whole body test seems a bit extreme?
