Back related question

Why would a doctor order an X-ray of the lumbar/sacchrum (sp?) region after he has the MRI results?

But I let the dream go
I know I have to find you now
And the promises broke
Can hear your name, I don't know how
And the make-believe ran out...
Why can't we make this darkness feel like home?

X-rays have better resolution for bone. MRI's offer better contrast in soft tissue.

No necessarily. I got an x-ray when I pulled my back. Maybe he wants to look at your discs or something.

I thought that's what the MRI was for

I just wish they'd figure out what the heck is wrong.
