That's a good idea. Do you have any orthopedics in your area? That's how I found out on my first visit. They did X-rays in office. They didn't need a MRI to see how little my disc was. I need a MRI for my shoulder but I can't even handle open mris. I panic. So the doctor tells me I have to go to a hospital to get fully sedated and so that they can change monitor my breathing and vitals. I had one scheduled and like 2 days before it was supposed to be, they called and said I had to pay almost $400 when I arrived. There was no way I could afford that and it makes no sense. Plus it was at a hospital that was an hour away when theres one within walking distance of my house.
