I didn't feel comfortable and was very tense...

I'm a little claustrophobic and if I had to lie there for another 20mins I might have gone :loco:/:screwy:

After the MRI, I felt weird too...

Like colors were more vivid and sharper... Kind of hard to explain...
Yeah, hella loud huh? I'm not normally claustrophobic, but lying in there was getting to me too.

How long until you get the results? A week or so?

I have a sciatic nerve problem... got an x-ray done... they see that i have an extra vertebrae at L5 S1..... there is no cushion between the last one and the extra one... I have pain daily, i cannot touch my toes anymore... and if i sit too long, i have pain when i get up and walk... i dont go to the chiropractor anymore... because it doesnt really do anything... Im only 18.

I thought I had a sciatic nerve problem too, ended up being a herniated disk. It was real bad last year at this time, it was painful to walk, stand, sit, lay, I was fawked.

I couldn't even tie my shoes for a couple months. I ate Vicodin and muscle relaxers for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

But im coo now:dunno: No surgery, no chiropractor, no PT, it just went away

i have to get an MRI every 6 months to see if the cancer i had in my side is growing back for that last 3 years i've been getting MRIs...they don't bother me anymore.

what sucks is that i need to keep getting MRIs for pretty much the rest of my life...

I've never had the experience but I imagine it's like being in some kind of science fiction movie.

Good luck with the results though Rick.
