If the doc ordered a "lumbar" MRI, it will NOT show the mid-back. I don't care what the girl at the office said. LOL I've had MANY lumbar MRI's and NONE of them showed the mid-back.

So I think the girl at the office was wrong -- but you'll find out when you get your report. Good luck & let us know what it says. Hugs, Lee
