Did you have to get an MRI?

Hi all! I totally understand that this is not a group of doctors, and I’m not asking for medical advice per se - I’m curious about your personal experiences with neurologists.

I got my concussion on 2/20 when I smacked my head on a door. I had to take about two weeks off of work because of headaches and dizziness, but I’m feeling a lot better! It still takes extra time to do things, and I still get headaches, but overall my symptoms are massively reduced. I’m back at work full

I went to a concussion specialist center/neurology clinic last week, and they’ve ordered a bunch of tests including a cognitive functioning assessment, head injury panel, and a brain MRI.

I was fully ready to go ahead with all of them, but after talking to a few people, I’m not so sure I really need the MRI. My concussion was less than a month ago and it’s already showing improvement. I did mention to the neurologist that I get regular headaches (sometimes daily but honestly I don’t pay attention to it), but I take stimulant medication and work on computers all day. I get rare migraines but they haven’t been debilitating in years.

Again, I’m not looking for medical advice but my gut is telling me that we’re doing a bit too much.
