My mother Joyce (69/1 year) is seeing a new movement disorder specialist who happens to be an osteopath. He wants to get an MRI of her neck and spine. When I asked her why he was ordering this test, she said that he wanted to check out the way her neck and back were functioning. I am hoping that this is just something an osteopath would order (i.e., I hope he doesn't suspect something worse than PD). In any case, my mother is unable to lie on her back for even two minutes. She called to set up the test and asked whether a pillow can be used, but the center said that it couldn't. My mother is convinced (I agree with her on this one) that she cannot take this test. Has anyone had a similiar experience and come up with a solution? Thanks. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
