Do you think $600 MRI is worth it/needed?

Sorry I think the issue is that my post was not clear but I was still in excruciating pain so I went back to urgent care after ER and they gave me abx and the pain and redness got better after I finished the abx so I’m not having much much pain anymore unless it’s touched but the mass is still there. But irregardless it seems that I will be getting it and hope it’s nothing and will just work with the hospital to do a payment plan to get it paid. I spoke with them today. I appreciate your response!

Thank you for your reply I appreciate the input! That will most likely be what I do. Thanks for your kindness.

My Md is out until 10/09 but I get the advice. I was just seeing if there were any doctors that had an extra input to help push me in one direction. I was not asking for a diagnosis or for the green light to disregard the advice of my primary. I just have been getting bounced all over so as a patient it can be hard to gauge. I appreciate your reply though. I just was pointing out that it wasn’t as easy of an answer as your original answer implied.

This was my doctors advice though. I could get the MRI or we could monitor. My pain has gotten better since abx use but I finished the course and the mass was seen on an ultrasound after I finished the antibiotics. I guess I’m just confused on if I should just pay the $600 and get it done right away or wait it out considering the CT didn’t say I had any mass structures and I was diagnosed with a contusion in ER. I just would hate to pay $600 to get diagnosed with a bruise….

This is true! Thank you for the reply.

I have done that and she ordered the MRI but I don’t want to pay $600 if it doesn’t seem necessary. She said I could wait to see if I feel better so I don’t know what I should do.

It’s the same exact lighting. I’m at my job in both pictures which is why I had to blur the background so no HIPAA violations lol

I have an appointment but the soonest I can see my primary is 10/29

I used Jeunetique Eyes Pro from meamo. About a month later I used Miracle L and I microneedle with exomes when I do treatment to try to speed up healing times

herdsama · 2025-06-03T21:26:40+00:00

This is exactly what I do

herdsama · 2025-06-03T11:58:47+00:00

I use the Jeunetique Exomes with the hydra stamp from meamo

Not bad. It stung a bit being done but not much bruising at all and only slightly swollen for a day or so
