@gently why is an xray insufficient? Did your doctor say only MRI's are able to pick up some fractures? My PCP (GP in Canada) ordered an xray to look for fracture, not an MRI. I will go back to her and ask for an MRI but she is not always easy to convince to test anything.

@dianeelizabeth I think x-rays are pretty effective at finding fractures. But not in the first 24-48 hours after a fracture. So I wait after I feel a fracture or unusual pain.
MRI's are good with soft tissue injuries and distinguishing from bone injury. in my experience.
@gently curious why you suggested MRI-?
