The problem is that not all problems show on MRI. You can have a relatively benign looking MRI and still have severe pain. The converse of that, makes the doctors tend to ignore the people with the relatively good looking films. (The converse being the people who have terrible looking films that have little or no pain.)

Good luck,

Mark
