Hello community fam, pray everyone is safe and well. I wanted to get some feedback from anyone who would be so kind to share. Recently I had my check - up with my Neuro; not bad just trying to figure out nagging "lower back" pain and tingles. I do have to monitor exercise (when I feel like it) cause I have a tendency not to pace myself.
My doctor ordered (3) MRI's Cervical Thoraic and Lumbar spine; w/o gad. Well, this would have been my twenty second MRI - but I started crying after the tech said "3 hours." I cancelled the procedure, and was told I could request sedation if my doctor gets approval. He will hear from me tomorrow. The good that came out of this was the patient waiting after me, and today was my injection day, hot who knows...besides hearing 3 hours in a tunnel.
Thanks for reading
Blessings

Sounds like an ordeal you have to face at some point.Been there, though not as often. Those MRI set ups can be really uncomfortable and it seems to take longer than what is expected.
I don't know if you are okay with sedation. Most often it's very light just o relax you and help ease anxiety.
Can the three hours be broken down so you can relax in between?
What ever you decide I hope it all works out the best for you.
Thank you so much, the journey and struggle is real!
Blessings
