Q: Stand Up Mri

Has anyone ever heard of the standing mri.I went to orthpedic spine surgeon yesterday. He told me by my mri that there is nothing he can do for me.It is bulging at c5-6 he said it is not touching my spine. I was so upset I came home and found the standing mri its suppose to show alot more then the lying down one. The website shows case studies of pictures I guess the lying down one can miss alot. When I was at the docter he did some test on like walk in astraight line and I couldnt I dont understand that or I couldnt keep my arms straight out they would fall to my side. Does anyone know what that means? Should I have bone spurs on my x-ray. Any help would really be appreciated.
