Glad you found us. Welcome to Neuro Talk. I found the site the same way you did, wanting to find out about my MRI. I was scared too. Leesa is the best that I know of for giving a laymans way of explaining your MRI. One thing you can do as I did, is start googling up all the words one at a time. Long and prolonged, but you get a good idea of the language that way. Once you understand the words, it fits together. I do believe leesa will be here soon and help you out. She was one of the ones who helped me when I first joined the site. Kind and very helpful. I wish you all the best. Only consider surgery as a last resort, and get those second and third opinions. ginnie
