Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 , When you do the MRI you really need all the slices done. If you skip a few or limit it, important images will be missed, including the area that hurts the most! An accurate assessment of what is going on in your neck necessitates all the slices you can get. I understand it will be agonizing, but take your pain med and some xanax to get you through the procedure. It's really important! Sorry, Sincerely, S. Neck Pain - Sue G. > Dear Sue, > > No MRI has been done yet. I am supposed to call him today and report how I am doing, which is not good. I will request one when I call. Unfortunately I can not lay in the MRI for more than say 20 mins without severe back pain so I'll have to request that the min number of films be made. > > All I know is I'm not really getting any better and this pain is absolutely unbearable! Something has to be done. This is really awful :-( The lower back of my head feels like someone hit it with a baseball bat. To make matters worse it gets worse when I sleep - hence I haven't been getting much sleep in the past 6 days. > > The doc thought it was significant that I had a fever as well. Went yesterday and got lab work done. Should get results either today or tomorrow. He's looking for any signs my body is fighting off an infection. Would be just my luck to get some strange infection that causes severe neck pain :-) > > Whatever it is I hope it can be fixed soon. Thanks for your suggestions :-) > > Hugs, > B. > HEDS, New Jersey, USA > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
