Title: Do MRI results show nerve damage?
Post by: Recreate23 on September 19, 2025, 08:52:31 AM

If you’ve had an MRI scan, did it show any nerve damage or tendon issues?

A private GP told me that they don’t show nerve compression, just the causes?

Structural tendon problems should be seen for example a tendon swelling, rupture or calcification. However other issues like inflammation may or may not.

Your doctor is right that individual nerves are generally too small to be seen but if for example there is a herniated spinal disc which is compressing a nerve root, this will be seen.
