He wants Shaun to have an MRI & a brain scan. He said it could be down to more deterioration to his discs, the catheter from the pump causing problems, an sensitivity to the Bipivocain (sp ??) local anaesthetic or a neurological problem.

An MRI can cause problems with metal objects in the body & it can also cause the computer in the pump to malfunction. So, someone has to be on hand to turn it all off, make sure it's all OK & turn it back on again when the scan is over.
