I have had an MRI on my lower spine, and though it has arthritis and compressed disks, they said there were no obvious nerve compression. I am now having MRI's on my thoracic and cervical spine on Monday. I had asked for these even though the neurologist there does not believe that is what is causing any of my neuropathy, but I think it is important to check out the condition of my spine. When I had an MRI in the eighties, I was told that I have compressed vertebraes in my neck, so I want to see whats going on. Anyone else deal with burning and pain in their back?
