Strange symptoms rapidly worsening -back pain, vibrating legs and body

Last year Simon Med Imaging ran a special here in AZ; $600 for lumbar, thorasic, cervical and brain MRI's with and without contrast for anyone wanting or needing all areas covered. This price, of course, was predicated on patient paying upfront on date(s) of service. This is MUCH less than what they charge and get from insurance companies. Perhaps your insurer might reimburse you in the end if you file on your own, perhaps not. You might look this with imaging clinics in your area.
Am so tired if insurance companies interfering with patient care. HMO's more than all of the others.

@sstout49 your comment regarding the CT’s of your entire spine both with and without contrast. You need to be considerate of the amount of radiation you’re receiving, not just the cost factor. Medical professionals are wary of ordering radiology studies on older folks due to the amount of radiation they receive over their life time. Radiation has been known to induce cancer which is why it is so heavily regulated. Those organizations you went to are money making machines and the incidental findings that show up on films can make people crazy with worry over nothing, most of the time. Be careful of your body.
