I'm sorry you have such a stressful experience.

An MRI can be a very stressful event, especially if it is your first. The stress and strain to lay perfectly still combined with the noise can cause a lot of anxiety. Then there is the claustrophobic aspect. I just had one 5 weeks ago.

At mine, they offered a knee pillow so my back was less strained. It was worth it. First time I had a knee pillow in 6 MRI's.

I can understand why they did not offer any help. First, the tech is not allowed to interact with the patient in a medical way. Second, there is not much they can do but let you rest and recover.

Now, it is time for the wait to see. My report was available that afternoon but I was not apprised of the results for 2 weeks. The images were sent to the Cleveland Clinic for review in my case. They are supposed to be very good at interpreting MRI's.

I hope you can find a way to rest and relax and resolve the discomfort. Moving around will probably be good.

My best to you.
