OK an MRI is kind of like an x-ray but it gives a better picture. It's a big cylinder machine and you lie down on a table (they'll usually give you a pillow so your comfortable) and go into the machine. And you stay there for a while and will be some loud nosies. Thats basically it when your in the cylinder the machine is taking pictures of your arm. You can't feel it, it doesn't hurt and it's safe.
The MRI doesn't make you feel anything. It's not touching you in any way. If it is with contrast you may feel a little warming sensation when they administer it but that's all. You will however hear the machine. That's all.
its not bad at all ! its just looks like a giant doughnut, and you hear humming.. all its doing is taking a picture of you!
An MRI doesn't feel like anything. If it is an open MRI you should be fine. My doctor gave me a couple a Valium and music when I did mine. Your just being put in a machine then scanned for whatever they are scanning you for. Nothing touches you.
