Ot mri scan

[crashbang]

Have you had one? There is a scan where you wizz in an out through a quick tube ,then a MRI. I put my ear phones on then layed back. 45 mins of noisy hell, move as nd then you start again. The noise is unreal.

Yes. Went in one when I had a lumbar disc protrusion which affected my knee. Had to be totally still but my knee was pushed into a metal plate. Nearly went through the bloody roof.

Never had one crash.

When you say your knee was pushed into a metal plate, was that deliberate or an accident Nardendee? I dont quite know what you mean.

Ive had 3. Well 2 and a bit. I had a panic attack on the 3rd one and couldn't complete the scan. It all started from the 2nd one. I had a chest infection, coughed and it was stuck in my throat. I'm choking and pressing the button to come out. all the operator was saying is "almost finished, are you sure you want to come out". Bloke assistant must have seen and came rushing in, got me out and as I sat up coughed a flem ball at the glass window. Finished that one but couldn't do the 3rd.
Strangely since if I'm watching a movie or series and someone gets trapped in a boot or under ground I feel my chest tighten. Kill bill is my fav movie and when she gets buried Alive I have to go for a pee.

Sorry - no wasn’t deliberate at all. Should have said “felt like a metal plate”. It was referred pain from my back into my left knee so any contact I made with it when laid down was way above my pain tolerance and very difficult to keep still.

I had a brain tumour shrunk by gamma knife 11 years ago so I go for an MRI on my head every 12 months to make sure the little fecker isn’t growing again.
It used to be every 6 months.

40 minutes in an uncomfortable noisy tube once a year is a small price to for the miraculous treatment I’ve had by some genuine geniuses.

Buddy, I never knew this of you. Sounds like you have had some amazing care and treatment to get you to where you are now. Here's to you going on to live a long and healthy life my friend.

The MRI machine was a discovery at Nottingham University by a Dr Mansfield. It is a magnificent aid for medicine.

I’ve had lots and even had an injection whilst in one which wasn’t as bad as it sounds although it didn’t work.
One to make sure I didn’t have Covid and I’ve still not had it.
1 last year which was able to see the trace of the blood clot that had passed through the base of my neck all the way through to where it finished which was probably the best bit of luck I’ll ever have. It showed the lakes or bleeds that caused damage to where it finished fight between 2 lobes.
My last one was this year on my liver . They’ve found that I have iron overload and I start the blood letting treatment in a week pot so. It sounds medieval but it’ll keep me alive for a bit longer.

Without the invention of the MRI then doctors would still be guessing at what they think is happening inside folk. The only off putting thing could be the sound they make.

Good grief, you’ve been through a lot. Really hope you continue to stay clear of this terrible disease go well mate
