I had a stroke recently after having had a spinal cord injury in my youth

I’m having increased symptoms from my spinal cord injury after my stroke. My brain neurologists wants me to do another long mri to determine if I have had another stroke or complications from my original stroke. I honestly can’t see the point of this as there is no treatment for these further complications and no plan to improve my quality of life. I have read that if you have a spinal cord injury and then have a stroke it can make your original neurological problems from the SCI worse. I want to refuse to do further testing because there’s nothing she can do to intervene anyway.
