I'm trying to figure out how much an MRI will cost because Ive got this shoulder injury that needs checking out. Could you give me an idea of the price for getting the MRI scan done? I'm a bit worried about how much it might be.

Got xrays of both knees done today and the doctor recommended proximal fibular osteotomy surgery. Just wanted to check if this procedure is really necessary or if there are other options? The xrays are attached for reference
