I fell from bike last month. From then I have pain in my right hand when doing certain actions. Today I consulted doctor and he asked me to take xray. Dr told may be rotated cuff injury and a slight hairline injury in the pointed area. He also suggested to take MRI saying it may be ligament tear. What should I do? when I enquired the cost and it was was 7.5k. is it really necessary please do help. It's really costly for me. It's not that I doubt doc but please tell me is it necessary to take MRI.

Have to examine clinically to say if there's any tear or not and the need for MRI
If pain reduces with time and with medications , can avoid MRI.
