What happens during a lower back MRI?!
Question: What happens during a lower back MRI!?
I have a lower back MRI scheduled for tomorrow!. Getting a bit nervous about it!. Had an ear MRI 10 years ago and it was a VERY uncomfortable experience, I felt like I am not able to breathe, then I moved, they had to repeat the whole thing!. etc!. Total nightmare!.
But now that scanned area is not close to my head, I am wondering if my head will be in the machine or if it is just going to be my trunk!.
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

3 years ago when i had mine(my back too), my whole body was inside the "tube machine" and they asked you to be as still as you can, it wasnt a bad experience for me (but i gues it can be if your clostrophobic)!. just relax and ignore the noise, they do have a speaker/microphone so you can talk to the tech!. i wish best of luck and good health to you!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
When i went for a MRI scan for my pancreas they scan went over my full body i can get claustrophobic but to be honest remember try and not move ask them to play you some music they can do this i got music played threw mine and remember take deep breaths you have been there before you can do it again and this time it won't focus on you face it will be your lower back good luck honey remember it doesn't last long xxWww@Answer-Health@Com
