I Have To Get An MRI

[Big Country]

A long time ago when I broke my knee and the doctors couldnt figure out what was long with it, and now when I do sports it like swells up so we went to the doctors and they said I need an MRI



one of those creppy things.


and I might need surgery. but that could be in a moth or two.

But still i am freaked out.

Just relax and try not to worry. MRIs are safer than most other imaging tests.

Freaked out? With a hot nurse like that by your side? Maybe if she was fat I could see being a little freaked out, but she's not.

Seriously, though, I'm really sorry about the whole MRI thing. As if you don't have enough crap going on in your life, you now have to deal with this. Sorry, Muse.

Be strong, buddy!

I took an MRI when I was 10ish to figure out what was wrong with my deaf ear. It's nothing difficult. They just tell you to stay still as this camera thing whirs around your head. But you probably won't have to worry about that since they'd just be scanning your knee.

Never had surgery though. Good luck with that.

They're a lot smaller than they look on T.V., but overall not bad.

It wasn't fun getting contrast injected into the joint, but definitely not a horrifying experience.

No worries, Muse. -And good luck.

Hope everything turns out okay--joint injuries suck.

When I had one the dye they injected into my bloodstream gave me a creepy warming sensation as it spread. Other than that, nothing to get too excited over. Stay relaxed and it'll be over before you know it.

When my dad crashed on my bike the doctors had to give him an MRI even though he was unconcious. Yeah, he woke up inside. He started freaking out and kicking it, trying to get out.

It shouldn't be too bad. Good luck with the surgery.

MRIs seem scary at first, but they're actually not so bad.

When I got mine, they put headphones on me and let me listen to my favorite radio station while I was in there.

It doesn't take too long, you just lie still, the machine makes buzzing noises, and they bring you out.

Good luck!

Hope it turns out well.

Re: I Have To Get An MRI

MRIs are one of the best diagnostic tools we have in medicine. I don't understand whats to get worked up over.

You lie down, they stick a metal cage over your head, you go into a noisy tunnel. You leave.

The MRI isn't anything to be scared of at all. Just close your eyes, think about stuff you want to think about, and enjoy the peace and quiet. We don't get much of it.

Sorry about your knee, though. Slowly--and I mean SLOWLY--working it back up to strength is the best way, if your doctors give you the OK. Good luck, and I hope the results come back good.

They're nothing. Been through quite a few of them, myself. They are just loud is all. Then the thing is over and you can go back to ruining your body like usual.

You better make sure you don't have to much lead in your blood or the MRI will more than likely kill you.
But I'm sure the doctors checked for that, right?

Prison tats are a no-no.
