So you think I need an MRI? I do not know if I need a doctor's rx for an MRI. Our insurance will not pay anything til we hit $5000 - so I try not to have any unnessary test done. I already paid $1300 for the nuclear stress test that came back OK. I was thinking that I needed an MRI in the first place not a stress test!
Hello.
If the symptoms didn't warrant an MRI, they at least qualify for a complete inner ear screening tests. An electronystagmography would tell about any problems with the inner ear.
Since you have a concurrent arm and leg numbness, I would think of neuropathy or migraines. Some forms of migraines present without the actual headaches.
An MRI is essential. Can you get it done without the doctors' prescription?
