MRI of My Head
Hi everyone, after 1-1/2 years I am being sent for a head MRI. I was wondering if this is a waste of time or if others found it beneficial? I also suffer from chronic neurological pain and migraines so was wondering if it might show the nerves?
I am scheduled to also have a cervical spine and T1/T2 MRI which I DO feel is going to be great! I have issues with these areas even today. However, I was not sure about the head MRI.
Thoughts?
