Went through MRI's 3 times for my whole body. The hardest part was to remain still since one of the symptoms of my affliction was muscle twitching. I also had 4 EMG's which made the MRI's a pleasure.

Its just like shooting a deer when you go in think about sitting inyour deer stand when he tells you to take a breath you will start seeing that big buck and when he tells you to let it out you have pulled the trigger.It helped my son when he had a couple of them done

I've had MRI's PET's and CT's when they diagnosed me with non- hodgeskins lymphoma last year. I think the PET sucked more due to the mental aspect of them bringing in a needle wrapped in lead and inform you that they are gonna inject you with "slightly" RADIOACTIVE liquid!!!! They told me the majority would come out during my first urination...I halfway expected it to be green...lol

I've had many off and on over the years on my back, knees, ankles and shoulders since 1979 but mostly for my lower back. The first one for me was really tough but each one got easier. Now they have "Open MRI's" which are a lot better just tell your Doctor you want to do an Open MRI so he can set you up. They have a lot more today than they had several years ago but since I've had two major lower back fusions were they placed metal plates in fusing all but L1 & L2 in my lower back I have to do a LUMBAR MYELOGRAM.
It is less of a problem to be poor, than to be dishonest.

I have had two in 2012. They put me under for $1495.00. If they wanted a good picture you better put me under so they did. I was going to have a back fusion on L3 and L4 but the surgeon said if it was his back he would not do it, so i did not do it. Instead i said lets fix my hips, so May 23rd my left hip was replaced and Nov 28th the right hip, back pain is almost gone. Then nov 17th I had a stroke and recovering from that. My nerves in my upper shoulder are driving me nuts, not that I was before. The muscles keeps tightening and pulling so today they said lets try heat. When the pain hits it makes you just cringe and wait for it togo away. I am Lucky to be alive, they cleaned out the cortaid artery on the 19th. I am Larry Jungwirth- birdman

I've made it through 2 MRI's without to many problems other than darn near falling asleep the milagrams weren't any fun at all this was to fuse my neck twice . CT scans aren't to bad either , my last one was a year ago they removed my appendix a couple hours later before it went south in a hurry lol Allan

When you have an MRI with contrast they use a substance call gadolinium. It is really bad stuff if it does not get out of the body. It is very smart to ask for a bag or two of saline in an IV to force the kidneys to flush it out. Read about gadolinium poisoning if you want a real scare.

Several, they suck when you are in pain and have to stay still.
