[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 460555, member: 1233"] Janet, I do NOT in any way, shape or form think you are a big baby about MRI's. Even without the prior bad experience, which someone should have been FIRED for, in my opinion, MRI's are not an easy thing to endure. I have had both kinds, and have help J's feet as she as them after a fall from a horse. I actually have a harder time with the open MRI because it isn't supported on both sides and I am always afraid it will fall and crush me. If you truly NEED the MRI to be able to save your mobility, there ARE places that have them designed for larger people. It also is NOT uncommon to give general anesthesia during an MRI. Yes, it has risks, but I would think it was appropriate in your situation. They likely will NOT tell you it is common, may even tell you it can't be done or whatever koi. I have an old friend who is a radiology tech and she told me they do it far more than people might thing - because otherwise it can be very very hard for someone to stay still enough for the test. The loopy feeling from the medications really will go away after a while, but the relief won't. I know you don't like pills, but you don't like pain either, Know what I mean?? So keep bbalancing small increases when the pain is bad with being sensible and NOT going/doing things at least until you have some clue as to what is going on. You SOOOOOOOOOOO are not a baby about this stuff. Not by a long shot! [/QUOTE]
