Yes, he will be able to see what compression, if any, is going on. I don't believe that he does cervical MRI's and I don't know if he'll be able to comment on that. I also have an MRI report that mentions foraminal narrowing, but I've had several spine surgeons say that it is very mild. I plan on getting a cervical epidural in the next few weeks just to make sure I don't get any pain relief from that before I go into TOS surgery in a month.
My insurance does contract with UCLA but my claim got denied because I unfortunately wasted authorizations getting a brachial plexus MRI from a radiologist that doesn't know TOS and also a (according to Collins) pointless MRN. Hopefully the doctor that ordered it will help me to appeal it.
