Usually for MRIs they will sometimes order full spine - or cervical spine only, or lumbar only, or thoracic spine only, or a combo etc - depending on location of pain & symptoms.

Do you know which areas your MRI is going to cover, C, T or L spine or all?



It might help for readers here if you list out all your symptoms here.
Then that list might be helpful to take to the drs also, sometimes they focus in on one thing and a clear list will make sure they are aware of everything.


If it was mainly neck/arm pain , I would suggest you read about thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) but you have other lower body issues mentioned as well. Can you hold your arms up overhead for any length of time like 2-3 minutes? Or do they get very tired, painful, heavy, turn white?
Or you can't even lift/hold them up at all?


There are many other things it could be and those all need to be ruled in/out for best diagnoses.
