Yesterday I had to go to U of L hospital for an MRI on my left side of my neck and shoulder. I woke up with a headache (allergies or sinus)and I really didn't feel like going. I had to because it can take a month to get an appointment.
Anyway, the last MRI I had was on my left knee. The place I went to let me wear headphones and listen to music which helped drown that AWFUL noise. Yesterday they only let me have earplugs.
The lady said it'll take 45 minutes but to me it seemed like an enternity. She put me on the table and sticks a pad under my knees. Well, since my left knee is messed up, the pad left it in ackward position. Then she had me lay back with my head up in this thing. It made my neck and shoulder lay in an ackward position too. About 10 minutes into the MRI, I began having muscle cramps. I couldn't move so I prayed it would be over soon. the noise made my head hurt even more. I could feel my shoulder beginning to spaz out. Finally she said it was all done.
Today my neck, shoulder and knee hurt soo bad and my head still has that pounding sound. Tomorrow I go to the clinic for more pain meds.
Wish I had them now.
sorrryyyy....just having a pity party with me, myself and I.
no need to join.
