I had an MRI done of my brain and cervical and thoracic spine with and without contrast yesterday. Trying to be time efficient I scheduled them all at one time. What a mistake!

I had to lay on that hard table without moving for 2 hours. You know everything itched at one time or another during the test. By the time I was done I was so cramped that I had to sit on the side of the table for 5 minutes before I could move.

In the future I will schedule the ones without the contrast, take a break while they to another person and then go have the contrast done. Learn from my experience. Give yourself a break if you are ever in this situation.
