They do  provide a report. For spine, not worth much and specialistt will disregard in favor of reading the scan themselves.  I'm not sure re hand scans. 

 

Before self referring for an MRI I'd see a hand specialist and get a simple Xray. Even if you had one before,  hairline fractures sometimes are not visible at first.

 

Quite likely a physical exam and xray will suffice. 

 

 

I have had 2 Xrays and seen an orthopedic at Mission Hospital. The radius bone was fractured, but there might also have been fractures in the carpal bones. I had a cast on for 5 weeks and the current swelling might just be from removing the cast.

The MRI was just to get peace of mind that there is no major soft tissue damage. It is only 9,000 baht and there is a mrithailand clinic near me.

I guess a level 2-3 sprain can take months to resolve, so I will give it a couple of more weeks.
