Herniation question

I had a cervical spine mri done a week ago...got the results back and it was normal
didnt get my brain mri one yet but would the cervical have showed herniation at all?


my necks been numb past couple days and iv felt like gagging obviously im worried
that my brain is going to herniate...if they did not find a reason 8 months ago
what are the chances it would?

Well when I explained to my mother what the doctors as sayed, she exclaimed ''Well after all these years it was really all in Your head after all''. She wants to come with me to my next doctors apointment. She's the one that ask all the questions, I usualy forget! She is as afraid as I am. I'm kind of happy to see that we are not the only one looking for the same questions to be answered, you are too. And I don't think youre an idiot!!!

Lol, I mean I feel like an idiot but talking to a counselor, doesnt help because they dont know anything about brain or health period.  I have health anxiety I like to call it, due to having real pain. "its all in my head" Literally haha.

I think one was done at the hospital last year or so...but none were recent, Id have to check..i wish i had a primary care doctor..which they dont know anythin but atleast i could get everythin together from when it all started up..

so they could know the whole situation and look at ALL the scans and test that have been done at different places. what would contrast show? I can not upload the films from the cd they gave me for some reason...
