lots of good people in this world and I am happy to be involved with
MDJunction who seems to have most of them.

I know the feeling. I have had about the same amount, and I have to put to sleep when I have one no matter what part of my body it's on. I ended up having surgery on each shoulder as a result and just found out yesterday that the surgeon has to redo my shoulder that I just had done not too long ago. It just never ends! I will be thinking about you and hope all works out.

I have a lot of mri's too, I get so tired of laying in that machine. I wish they could put a tv in the top of it or something. I hope you feel better soon. And I hope things go well for you.

I like the MRI's, it's the nuclear scans that I can't stand. They do have a tv, but it's endless cheesy nature stuff with really bad music, lol!

At least with MRI's you get that comfy pillow for your knees Smile

Broken, prayers and hugs for you, my friend. Let us know as soon as you find out anything Smile

Im just thankful this doctor decided to check my shoulder,I've been trying to tell the docs to check my shoulder and they all 5 insisted it was my neck but couldnt find the reason..

but I start worring the effects of so many mri's..I had the nuclear one to for my thyroid,I really should be glowing in the dark

we all have alot to give if one gets the help then some of this suffering is worth it..

Isn't it amazing that you can tell someone what hurts on your body and they insist they know better.

Broken, I'm glad they finally listened to you.

I wouldn't worry about glowing in the dark, seriously. The acronym stands for magnetic resonance imaging. Magnets are fine, and in fact some think they're eve therapeutic.

I would worry more about too many x-rays and the nuclear scans. The ones where you have to drink barium. The barium will make you glow Smile
