Have you had an MRI?
What was your experience?
Did you panic?
I'm scheduled for an MRI on the 17th and I am not a fan of confined spaces. 😩

I have had a few MRI’s. Probably like 10 now. The longest was an Hour and Forty minutes when they scanned my brain and C-Spine.
They put headphones on your head because it’s loud and I find it very uncomfortable to lay there especially if you have pain. I just close my eyes until it’s done:
If they are doing your lower extremities then you go in feet first.
If you need the tracer med it honestly can feel like you have wet yourself but you haven’t,
You can ask for a mild sedative to take before the exam from your doctor if tight spaces make you nervous but then you will need a driver. I have never taken one and I am a bit claustrophobic.
I hope it goes well 🩷.

@iamonfire696 Thank you. Unfortunately I'll have to forego the meds since I don't have anyone to drive me home.
