why would my neurologist recommend me having a brain mri? i have cervical stenosis and epidurals are not lasting but maybe a month. he also ordered blood workup and the nerve tests similar to the ones they do for carpal tunnel, except for both arms, my neck and back and face.
any input would be appreciated.
thank you.

What did your neurologist tell you when you asked this same question to the neurologist?

I don't know why he would request it. The neuro-radiologist told me to get one after a cervical MRI showed Chiari Malformation. Maybe, they are looking for something like that.
