Questions re: Potter's MRI

Hi All,
I am new to this site but not new in PN community. My PN journey started from having sacral pain and it quickly went down to my sit bone areas in 11/04 (diffuse burning pains in my butts). After a few months, pains spread to my genital areas. Dr. Weiss said i have PNE. Another doc said my pain distribution was outside of the PN territory. Dr. Filler said something else. My pains are gradually getting worse over the years. I will need to do something about it. I have ignore it for the past several years as i was dealing with RSD which caused by a painful IV during a S3 injection.
My physical rehab doc wrote me a prescription for Potter's MRI. He wrote pelvic MRI with special attention to PN and its branches per my request. Will this MRI visualize all problem nerves, muscles and ligaments in the pelvic or the doc who wrote the prescription need to be even more specifics. I suspect there are other nerves besides the PN involved in my case but i don't know which one. I want to sure i can get the most out of this MRI since i need to fly out from the West coast.
I appreciate your help. Take care.
