It is X- Rays and MRI,it depends on where in your lower back you were hurt.What kind of Arthritis did they tell you ,you have so many of them.
Did you speak with an attorney as of yet !

Actually, for your back, a CT scan is better than an x-ray or a plain MRI- for the best view of your back, a CT-myelogram is actually the best study- this is where they inject dye directly into your spinal cord and then do the CT scan.

However- if there was reason to believe you had something else, then your doctor would order something else.
