Yes, lower back MRI includes your lumbar spine usually from T12-S1 levels of your vertebrae which includes lumbar L1-L5. I just had mine today. Good luck!

Cervical MRI is for your neck and is different from lower back/lumbar spine MRI. Am I understanding you correctly you already had your neck/cervical MRI and waiting for lower back/lumbar MRI in August? What did your neck/cervical MRI show? This would most likely be the source of your arm/hand pain/weakness/numbness. They may want to do a head/brain MRI to rule out other conditions tied to your symptoms.
