Ain't it grand, though? Well, sometimes the only good thing seems to be if you can still get up and move a little and the fact that you are still above ground instead of below, ya know. At least that's usually my response when I see people and they ask how I'm doing! But seriously, pain is -especially when it in that area -upper neck-back or lower back area -it really makes no difference as it is all then a royal pain in the arse! I've had several MRI's over the past 8 years and for me, the earphones with the choices of music they offered for me to listen to worked so well that inevitably it enabled me to take a nice long nap! No one ever told me though if I snored or not but I'll wager I probably did!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415332849790514041.post-51338717136877179682011-08-04T20:04:11.372+01:002011-08-04T20:04:11.372+01:00What a bummer, best wishes for a speedy recovery!What a bummer, best wishes for a speedy recovery!Merisihttp://merisi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415332849790514041.post-73693533701119832732011-08-04T19:03:14.561+01:002011-08-04T19:03:14.561+01:00Poor you....but at least you are getting the right...Poor you....but at least you are getting the right treatment (including gin)...so just chill!libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415332849790514041.post-75147783650214743772011-08-04T17:14:41.231+01:002011-08-04T17:14:41.231+01:00I, too, have arthritis in the neck, although playi...I, too, have arthritis in the neck, although playing sports and such keeps me limber enough that it doesn't usually bother me too much unless I've kept it in an awkward position too long while sleeping or whatever. I have it on my medical chart that I am to be given Percocet any time I ask for it, but I've only asked for a prescription twice since being diagnosed about 10 years ago.<br /><br />Take care of yourself. I'll say a prayer for your speedy recovery.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415332849790514041.post-78482262220531015512011-08-04T16:16:02.834+01:002011-08-04T16:16:02.834+01:00Ouch, how awful!

I ...This is awful..... but glad nothing was broken.<br />I have always dreaded a MRI scan so now you've put my mind at rest if I ever needed one. Don't think I'd ever fall asleep in one though.<br /><br />Funny how I've written about pain too.<br />Maggie X<br /><br /><a href="http://granniemay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nuts in May</a>Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415332849790514041.post-79034289268335895402011-08-04T14:23:46.629+01:002011-08-04T14:23:46.629+01:00That's a real pain in the neck!

I hope the police throw the book at the driver for driving off; I suspect a non-insured driver there! <br /><br />Let's hope your back rights itself soon. I had back problems once, had an MRI and like you had a vertebra pushing on a nerve. Physiotherapy did the trick for me, it was amazing how quickly it worked after months of being in agony.Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415332849790514041.post-22937575214272755002011-08-04T14:04:23.734+01:002011-08-04T14:04:23.734+01:00Only you could fall asleep in an MRI scanner, Sara...Only you could fall asleep in an MRI scanner, Sara - I hated mine! I can vouch for the neurosurgeons in Newcastle personally, but do rest if that is what they have advised - You can't take numbness seriously enough and to do too much risks nerve damage - Trust me, I know, I can't feel half of my right foot and calf...<br /><br />Take care, watch yourself and I hope the treatment goes swimmingly - Just imagine what you can do with the compensation for being rear-ended, and enjoy thinking of how to spend it while you're lying in great state!<br /><br />Love you,<br /><br />Fhi xxxA Woman Of No Importancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194976046531063422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415332849790514041.post-55476251231582722062011-08-04T13:58:38.742+01:002011-08-04T13:58:38.742+01:00OUCH .. keep knees elevated when laying down to re...OUCH .. keep knees elevated when laying down to relieve pressure on the lower spine .. I have a horrific lower back which spasms out from time to time .. and I knew we were kindred spirits, I too found the rhythmic clanging of the MRI soothing .. it put me to sleep too! Feel better soon but meanwhile take full advantage of your male nurses! ;-)Darylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.com
