back pain is similar. apparently there is something like... 80% of mri's show some disk problem. whether there is back pain or not. and then something like 20% of people reporting serious back pain don't have any visible abnormalities on mri. so...

the main worry with giving everyone mri's of their lower back is that you would find all these 'problems' that likely wouldn't result in pain or whatever... all these unnecessary surgeries. all these unnecessary complications arising from these unnecessary surgeries etc...

i noticed a private orthopedic back surgery clinic on the streets of parnell the other day... a private imaging clinic right besides... seemed like a bit of a scamy scam scam to me...
:(
