Thanks so much for any responses that you can give. Feeling so lost right now.

MRI's can show compressions if the proper one is used but most often they are used to rule out a lot of other causes of pain and its used as a tool to make an accurate diagnosis. I was glad to have mine done. It rules out MS, tumors, and alot of other things and it gave me some peace of mind.
Best of luck to you, ee
