Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Just listen to the music and try and relax. If you really think you will freak, ask your doc for some valium. In any case, it is loud, but you have headphones. You'll hear some clicking and banging noises. It is just a big xray. They will give you a thing so that you can talk back to them and they can take you out at any time! good luck!- -- In chondromalacia treatment@y..., bellana1 <no_reply@y...> wrote: > hi guys. > > i know i haven't poseted for a while. but i need some advice and > information. > > im due to have an mri scan on the first of may and need to know > everything that they might do . or what will happen when im in there. > > do i need to do anything the night before. > > its just im really nervous about it cos im kinda clautsrophobic. > > so if everyone could post something about there experiences with mri > scans so i could get some support or info so im not as apperhensive. > when i go. > > Bellana1@h... > > if no one minds. > > thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Steph The thing with MRI is that it is a powerful medical intervention, and IS Radio Frequency, which apparently is cumulative. Have the doctors tried other diagnostic tools? Sometimes they just like to recommend getting an MRI since it is easy for them ( no skin off their nose ), and is an expensive billable item. Are the migraines related to ES? Tried biofeedback? Feverfew herb? Meridian tapping is awesome for migraines, and so side effects!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Liz,Yes, you lie down and there is a long wait and a lot of knocking sounds like a hammer, but it's painless unless you get claustrophobic. Good luck on your results! Heidi, Bexon's Mommy, (3.5 years old, in 9th cast from Salt Lake City Shriners, currently down from 63 degrees to 14.6 in cast.

I just wondered what it is like, whether you have to lie down, also whether it shows anything up for pain. I have a rib hump and respiratory problems. I look forward to hearing from you.
