4 months ago I was hit by a car while crossing the street. I was taken to the hospital and an x-ray was done. I followed up with my general practictioner. He said I should be ok in a week or two. I asked for physical therapy because after a week I was not feel much better. I did p/t for 4 months. The other day my p/t said she would recommend an MRI. I followed up the my general doctor and he checked me out again, but said I don't see any reason for spending $1500 on an MRI and that he does not think I have any neurological issues. He said due to my age, 47 that I should not expect to ever be 100% again. He said I was at 90% recovered and to just keep doing the excercises and discontinue p/t because it will not help.
Well I am worried that there could be something really wrong with my shoulder. On a scale of 1-10, the pain is a 3 and constant. I have it everyday. He said if I sleep weird or if my computer is in the wrong position at work then I should correct this; however I believe further investigation needs to be done. The pain is in my right shoulder; lower part of my neck, travels down to my elbow. The other day I had tingling in my left left to the foot. I think I need an MRI or second opinion. What do you think?
