re: Any tips on getting an MRI?

C-spine, I had the lumbar done last week. My Dr. did call in some Xanax for this one (where I’ll have to be head-first into the machine).
I appreciate all of the tips, I’m going to try and sleep or at least keep my eyes closed for the MRI.

Think about something else. I've had like 10 cause my head jacked up and all of them all the way into the thing. Close your eyes and focus on the rhythm and slow your breathing. You have to accept that you can't control everything and trust in those that do. It can be a test of patience.

If your Cspine takes longer than 10 minutes, you went to the wrong place

Child’s play.
Pop a Viagra. They may not be able to get you in the machine.

Why?
Can you explain the fear you have in detail

Wear a lot of metal jewelry.
Don’t. Don’t do that.

There’s not a specific fear, but wearing a mask whilst having to be in the machine was difficult the first time.

Remember to take your wallet out of pocket. I forgot and ruined my credit and debit cards

Don’t drink caffeine so you can sleep. It’s actually pretty boring and semi-relaxing

I’ve had an MRI and CT in the last couple of weeks and didn’t have to wear a mask either time. If you need sedation, let your Dr. know.

Open mri is pretty easy. The old school style is a little uncomfortable. The top is literally inches from your face. I’ve done both.
Relax and close your eyes.

If you have any allergies, take an antihistamin (sp?) beforehand. It is torture if your nose starts to itch during the MRI because you won’t be able to scratch it. And don’t play with yourself in there, they are watching on the monitors.

I hate them, I have them every couple of years. There is no way I could wear a mask for the two hours I lay in the "tube". I would need to be knocked out.

The frick?
You lie down for a while and chill out. In a weird way I actually enjoy the experience. Kinda nice to be in my own world where no one bother me or need anything from me for once.
So yeah, just go chill out. Listen to music or a podcast or just relax with your own thoughts. Most importantly, good luck and I hope they find/don’t find whatever they are looking for

In college I had multiple shoulder mri’s, just drank several beers before I left and it helped.... I’m having a knee mri on Friday so I won’t be fully enclosed... still might have a few drinks just to relax and be still

Just stay still and not act like such a pussy.
Posted on 8/9/20 at 8:34 pm to GI Jerm
Here is my tip... don’t wear anything metal inside.

Sit still and relax.?
They will play any music you like.
Doesn’t take very long.
