Anyway, I will call that center, which does those unconventional MRI's and ask them how they do it, and will have your description in mind. Thank you.
And if that somewhat arrogant MD I've seen today will not prescribe the positional MRI, I should get it from my genuinely sympathetic GP. I will need a doctor's letter to have it done, I believe.

I actually had mine ordered by my GP also.....after reading the report to me initially he said it was over his head and referred me to a neurosurgeon who basically said "not anything that could or should be addressed surgically and also said can't give you a new spine !!!, yea he was arrogant too!!."
Scary when they can't or won't think outside the box !! Patients have been known to be correct about their gut instincts....keep on pursuing yours !!
Best to you chloecasey
