Your neuro's opinion of a blurry MRI of your neck does not rule out the value of another MRI with your head sharply rotated to the left and right. This was recommended to me by a whiplash and vehicular accident trauma research specialist at Oregon Health and Science.

If the attorneys are wanting a diagnosis, I would never rely on a fuzzy MRI for a negative diagnosis. This is the rest of your life that is depending on a good and accurate diagnosis.

My upper neck injury that is not imageable by normal CT or MRI causes me to stop breathing if I sleep with my head tilted. I know that I have some kind of damage to my left Atlas to occiput area. I also have an injury at C-5 and C-6 that were only imageable when a physiatrist ordered a very specific view. My chiro tried his best and could not identify the injury.

I say this to point out that not all images are equal plus not all radiologists are equal in their film reading skills. If you sense that something is not right, keep asking questions until somebody answers your questions with a degree of credibility.

My best to you.
