[|Human|] I CAN HARDLY WALK AND MY LEFT LEG IS HEAVY. WHAT type of MRI SHOULD I HAVE? mY NEUROLOGIST ORDERED CERVICAL SPINE . IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ARMS OR HANDS. IS THERE ANY INJECTION TO RELIEVE THE INFLAMMATION ,mY LEGS ARE KIND OF SWOLLEN. WHAT SHOULD I DO DOCTOR?
[|AI|]  You can do cervical spine MRI with screening of whole spine.  If there is only lower limb involvement and symptoms of tingling lumbar spine MRI may be helpful, but anyway do whole spine screening with either MRI. Neurologist will have always looked at cervical spine first. But tell them you also want to get screening of whole spine also.  I also suggest vascular color Doppler of your leg to room out any vascular pathology(narrowing of arteries) like vascular claudication.
