Having to lie perfectly still for 10 minutes in a claustrophobic tube. Pretty freaky but do-able.

You know by listening to your doctor.  The MRI should tell him everything he needs to know.

i'd recommend MRI scan and yellow post-it notes so you can write things down if you need to remember them later.

It's best to have a good thorough physical examination as the majority of herniated discs are not painful.  When MRI was invented, healthy pain free volunteers were scanned just to see what normal anatomy was like.  What was discovered was that a lot of these healthy volunteers had herniated and bulging discs with no pain.  There are other structures that cause pain in the spine as well, unfortunately, many physicians go right to the MRI, see a herniated disc and blame it for all pain.  A good thourough examination will often reveal the structure causing pain and the MRI  should be used to confirm these findings, otherwise it may lead to inappropriate treatment.  You also didn't mention what actually hurts; is it your neck only or your arm as well?  You may want to see a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician (Physiatrist) in your area for treatment.

Usualy it does and no MRI is used to find tumors and scan the body for exotic things. There is no radiation when using the MRI Scan. MRP (correct scan name) is used to predict if u need chemotheraphy or not for ure cancer, and yes when they use this scan it means u have cancer.

Yes, it's very possible to get results like this. MRI, CT and PET all work very differently and all highlight very different things. A mass can be obvious in one method and be virtually invisible in another. There are also many different types of MRI scans, and they each highlight different anatomic structures.\n\nYou should start by talking to your doctor about what is going on here. Have they reached a diagnosis which might explain the discrepancy, or are they still trying to determine what is going on? You should also talk with your doctor about having all of the scans read again by an experienced radiologist in order to get a second opinion on their interpretation.

Ask you doctor about a good place to work with you for an MRI and EEG.  There are many places that will give you deep discounts on the tests if you have hardship.  This will vary on clinic to clinic.  Call imaging centers and ask.  A normal MRI of the brain can cost anywhere from $1200.00 to $2000.00, so hardship discounts will help.

Most people don't have the experience I did, but I think it is important to know that things can go wrong.  I felt OK immediately after the procedure, except for the effects of the anesthesia.  Three days post-op, I began having a fever, nausea and vomiting.  I went to the emergency room because my surgeon was out of town and didn't have anyone covering for him. I was diagnosed with a staph infection that went systemic.  I was in the hospital for 2 weeks on IV antibiotics.  Not fun.  After that I was fine.  I had the procedure done on my hips and went down 3 pants sizes.  The only drawback I would tell you about is when they remove the fats cells from one place on your body, they are gone forever and you will never have fat in that area again.  When I gain weight, I used to gain it in my hips.  Now if I gain weight, it all gets packed onto my stomach, which I never had before. After the above experience, I would never have it done again, or have any elective surgery again.  I would only have surgery if my life was threatened.

You need to go to your doctor and he will order a MRI if he feels it is needed.

If you hadn't just had the lipo on your back, then it would be possible that you have a tumor. If the pain started soon after the lipo, I'd guess you have a bruise or blood clot or rearranged lump of fat that is showing up on the MRI. Only a Dr can definitely answer your questions and even he might need to do further research.  Good luck.
