Your doctors may tell you to wait and see how you recover with physical therapy or just rest before ordering an MRI scan. If you have a herniated disc or a seriously bulging disc, either of which can cause severe pain, numbness, weakness, or other symptoms, the earlier your MRI scan is done to detect it the better the proof will be in your case that it is from the accident in question.
