There is also a herniated disc between C5,6 which is also causing him to have numbness in his right hand. This is the cause of his right shoulder, upper back, hand muscle atrophy and right hand weakness. Therefore I did an MRI scan in clinic and found out his C6,7 has a large herniated disc pressing against the right nerve root. I believe that X-ray alone can not diagnose his condition. As in the X-ray the C6,7 were slightly narrower, and the X-ray of the foramen was not narrowing. He felt body began to feel weak! After I took his medical history and perform physical examination on him, I believed the diagnosis is cause by the herniated disc. After starting to take the drug, it relieved a bit, but after two months, he has atrophy of the upper arm and right shoulder muscles, and the upper arm was unable to lift weights. The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and muscle-relaxing drugs. It did not seem to be a symptom of a herniated disc. After receiving an x-ray examination, there were no bone lesions or narrowing of the vertebral foramen on the x-rays. At first he thought it was a muscle inflammation, but two weeks later he still felt soreness and numbness in his neck and hands. In February of this year, he sprained his neck while doing weightlifting.

Case 1: A 39-year-old professional modelģ9-year-old David is a professional model. Therefore, to diagnose a herniated disc, a MRI scan is necessary. The MRI scan can see the structure and water contents in the intervertebral disc, the condition of herniated or prolapsed intervertebral disc, the severity of nerve compression and can also see the condition of spinal canal stenosis due to spinal degeneration. When dealing with a herniated disc, X-rays can only capture bone lesions of the spine, including structure, alignment, subluxation, degeneration and bone spurs, etc. Why do doctors recommend an MRI scan instead of an X-ray when the doctor thinks that the patient may have a herniated disc? Let us talk about the reasons. Understanding MRI and X ray to view herniated disc
