No I didn’t get an MRI. The bone scan showed no compression fractures. Is an MRI better? And if so, I’m not sure it’s necessary as my back is much better now.

If you have fractures, mri can tell the age of the fracture, necessary for most doctors to perform kyphoplasty. MRI’s also show disc involvement better.
