Usually, MRIs are good for 6-12 months. Some doctors are okay with older imaging and some want updated imaging if older than 6 months. I had a cervical MRI last February and had new symptoms which showed a new herniated disc in my November MRI so things can change pretty quickly.
An orthopedic spine specialist can look at your cervical and lumbar spine MRIs you have had. There is a SSEP test that can give more information on nerves. It sounds like something may have shifted from your surgery or the 2nd injection in your SI joint may have injured your spinal cord bundle/cauda equina.

Yeah it's crazy i literally just had a pelvic MRI then had the injection, so now they don't want to do another MRI because they won't admit there is any possibility of injury from this. It's amazing how I can think that's possible and you can and who knows else, but not one dr i talk to will even acknowledge it's possible. If my nerve testing shows damage they likely still won't admit it.
I don't even have a local orthopedist. Only a pain medicine clinic. My surgeon is out of state far away. It's a nightmare....I'm so frustrated. What is a SSEP test?
