MRI Lumbar Spine

[Dramaticmiss]

I can't tell you how helpful this was. I'm very claustrophobic and have a specific fear of MRIs, and seeing how it all works has helped my anxiety a whole lot. Thank you for posting this and for explaining the process.

Glad I watched this before my appointment. Those sounds can be quite intimidating, even with noise defender

I had an MRI scan today for my neck, upper, and, lower back. It was the horrible experience of my life. I am mildly claustrophobic but I got panicked as soon as they put me in that machine. I had a headcover on, plus neck restraints. and due to neck restraints, I couldn't put the headphones in. So no music to distract me. I was instructed not to move for at least 45 mins. I felt like I am caged in. My anxiety went through the roof. The radiographer was a nice man who quickly brought me back outside the machine. I felt so dizzy and disoriented after that. It took me half an hr to catch my breath and be normal again. I was then told to go for an open MRI which might help me with my issue.

This was quite enjoyable to watch. I'm not so scared anymore. Thank you!❤

I think you should go in eyes closed and keep them closed.
I made the mistake of opening mine and that's when i felt a bit panicked.

I recommend people to close their eyes before they are sent in, and do not open your eyes before its over, Then you will be fine.

I have lower back MRI in half an hour. Watching this to make sure my head doesnt go in the machine. It is scary 😨

awww, I went to get an MRI of my spine today and I did not get those nice options. However, MRI tech was super nice and gave me a warm blanket before going in. It was nice and warm.

I had a Lumbar MRI about two weeks ago, just gave me ear plugs and the button. No choice of music or lighting, or which direction I went in. It was my first ever MRI, so I didn't know what to expect. The tech asked how I was with claustrophobia, and told me it would be very loud. I just laid there with my eyes closed, trying to think about other things to not think about the tube being inches from my face. 15 minutes wasn't bad, glad it wasn't one of the longer ones I've heard about, though.

If you’re claustrophobic you’ll definitely enjoy this 😂

I had 4 failed attempts. But I did it thursday here are my tips. Sedation pills two diazepam eye mask cover . The fear is in your mind you need to go into your body and pretend you are actually outside imagen the the cool air on your face..at first I refused I said I can't do this then the lady said il put u in then if u wanna come out then il take u straight out. I said okay then I went in and few seconds I said take me out. I can do this put me back in again. I was in the scanner and I did look up but I could still see abit of light so, they gave me headphones with radio playing, helped at first then the mri sounds over powerd the music ! yes the sounds are annoying but huming along to them that helps! Hope this helps someone I had deep fear of enclose spaces like max level. MY mri was full whole spine. Took 20 -40 mins and when I did it I was so happy and proud of myself. I actually said to the mri scanner you are not beating me today I'm doing this and I did.
