What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?

Hello, I am going for an MRI tomorrow which was referred by my Internist because I ve had severe neck problems which seem to be affecting different areas in my body like: pinch nerves in neck, stiff neck, muscle spasms in legs at night, impingement on shoulder, etc. Also my lumbar is very tender and hurts sometimes. I cannot carry heavy things and my lower back gets sore for just about anything. I also have osteoporosis. But my insurance has denied the mri for the neck and I will only be able to have the lumbar tested. My Dr. thinks I may have spinal compression. I am wondering if the lumbar test shows I do have spine compression, will that also tell that it could be affecting the neck area as well even though I did not get tested for the neck? I am hoping that the test can somehow reveal that the neck is being affected. Please advise. Thank you
