have you ever had a mri before. i ve had a few some with drug and some with out. 

worst part is you have to get comfy quickly due them need quick turn around as usually busy. mine was for my head they give you music to listen to but still hear machine but nose didnt bother me worst bit having the mire mesh over my face that was worst. i dont mine them. 

biggrin

It's going to be my first time but I'm not worrid just want to get to the root of the problem ..... Only thing is Iv got to travel to the next town Halifax by bus 👎🏻

well my  1st scan i had in weston park in sheffiled which is a cancer hospital it was a depressing place. its where you have treatment and diagnoise. the way the place was decorated was horried maroon red on wall with pics of autumal leaves pic on wall ie dying not cheery at all. 

2 nd at hallamish hospital was better although quite dark lacking lighting wise as no windows as it is under groung and high above i trvaeled by bus but had to get taxi up to actual hospital as sunday appointment as not buses direct up to them. 

Try to keep your chin up kid ..... It can only get better for ya ...... 🙏🏻

Hiya steff ..... My problem is a sliped disc ( modare bludge) Thay said ..... Just phisio and pain killers wen I need them ....... I'm going try going back to work after the weekend but o must admit it's killing right now as I text you lol ..... How are you feeling today 👍🏻

I am feeling rough due to medication seem to had a mental breakdown with my head back and change in medication from one epileptic to another so change brain chemistry. But back pain disappear for a while only where had it done hurts front and back doc just give pain killers. It really hurts while swimming agony or I wear shoes that aren't shock absorbed.

Glad your getting some where!
