Has anyone had a MRI scan?

Hi, I had one and didn' think it was too bad.  I closed my eyes all the way through and pretended I was sunbathing on a beach lol x

Hi, 

I had two last year and I was laid on my front with my head at the open end of the scanner. So if yours is the same as this then it's maybe not as scary as going in head first.

Take care x

Hi, 

It was fine, as ponymad29 said, I was face down (you can turn your head to either side) girls dangling in two holes, but feet first into scanner. Try to relax and breathe.

I had my m.i.r scan Monday. I to was frightened but the girls were lovely and put me at ease. I also was lucky enough to have music.wasnt quite loud enough lol.it is very noisy but pretended I was I'm a celebrity and no way I was going to press the panic button because for a sake of minutes I wasn't going to give in .I'm new here too and in comparison to others this is straight forward. Hope all goes well. Xx

Hi, I had mine yesterday, I have had a lot in the past for spinal things so knew what to expect. You are on your tummy, I was head first in the scanner but you're quite near the opening at the other end. You'll be given ear plugs and headphones, I had the radio playing through them! 

It is loud with different types of noises but close your eyes, concentrate on your breathing and listen to the music. Nothing in the scanner will hurt you, it's just rather loud. The nurses are always lovely and check in on you all the time through the speakers. 

Hope all goes well 

That sounds like such a good idea! I'll have to try that x

Oh thank you. Hopefully it won't be that bad first if I am laid out the same way x

This makes me feel much better. I had imagined I'd be on my back stuck in a tunnel. The things we have to do! xxx

Thank you so much. Hopefully won't be too bad then xx

Thank you so much. I feel much better after all these positive replies x
