Two years ago I hurt my shoulder in a “slip & fall” accident under -35 windchill. I was at work and went through a whole lot of accidents reports and what not.
Now my past sports injuries ‘tennis elbow’ (squash) and ‘knee surgery’ (Cricket) are all back with vengeance.
My question is;
How can I successfully go through my MRI scan ?
3weeks ago my MRI appointment (Very precious) came and I went to the hospital to do it
First attempt was comical because I got all set up and when I heard the tech leaving the room and I opened my eyes, I got hysterical and started to scream ,let me out ,let me OUT !
First time ever, I was told and it was news for me too, I was a severe case of ‘Claustrophobic’
So these 2 attempts were a total failure and waste of time.
I’m living on ‘painkillers’ as I never went through soo much pain in my entire life,
I have another appointment on Dec 7 2010,and my Doctor has given me pills to take half hour before the test. So I tried this pill at home as a test and realized that it does work and do what its suppose to do ,but for god sake tell me,what will I do if I wake up again in the middle of the MRI TEST.. It might give me a cardiac arrest, My doc tells me over the phone I should take 2 pills under the tongue, that should help, I’m so freaked out by just thinking about it.
what else I can do ,?
