Detailed Answer:
Hello

MRI is better for soft tissue imaging and it is more sensitive.
I think you should rely on MRI reports.
Some times,there may be diagnostic dilemma in CT scan and it may be due to many reasons like artifact due to bony structures etc.There is no such limitation in MRI,so you can rely on MRI.
Your symptoms may be due to some other reasons.Symptoms are not always due to organic causes.
