Do I need a repeat MRI for my spine

In January, I took an MRI because my cervical disc bulge symptoms got much worse and regular (I've had it for two years), with complete numbness of my right arm everyday even with simple functions like writing, typing, cooking, eating, etc. I tried different doctors, physiotherapy, ayurveda in different places because I live in a remote area (I'm a forest researcher) without doctors nearby. After my initial physiotherapy for one week, my pain and numbness extended to my left arm and shoulder. Instead of resting after, I went for another survey and both my arms went numb with severe pain in neck and upper back. In the following days, I had severe pain in right hip and slight numbness in right leg also. I tried ayurveda after this for two weeks. Now I feel okay if I absolutely don't use my arm but even walking slowly for 5 minutes starts the numbness in hand and leg. Do I need another MRI since my symptoms got worse or would that be a waste? what's the best way forward?
