What Does My MRI Scan Test Report Indicate?
Question: I had a MRI in XXXXXXX 2014 and the report states moderate debris and opacification within left mastoid air cell, likely inflammatory. I have been suffering with headaches, tinninitus (getting worse) vertigo, a small throbbing lump size of large pea in front of my ear, small itchy type sores in front and behind my ears.
My hearing and clarity in thinking has diminished. I have been at my Dr. to send me to an ear, throat and nose specialist but will no proceed with my request. Am I over reacting to this or is there an issue?
