May I promise you that an MRI does NOT hurt? The tech will be kind and patient because he/she doesn't want you to move the slightest bit. The tech will offer you a nice, toasty warm blanket and ask which music you want to listen to. There will be LOTS of loud noise but that cannot cause any pain - just startle you a bit if the tech doesn't tell you it coming.

You will be so surprised that you won't feel any pain... just hear the noise. If you aren't offered ear plugs (and I bet you are) ask for some

I consider myself an expert on MRIs - lol- I have those things done on my head every 3 months -
