Hi macdebbie,
Welcome to the group. I know what you mean about the table shaking. I just had an MRI of the brain last week and was surprised by that too. I think you would be ok to go ahead with another MRI. They tie you in pretty good and put things around your head and stuff so even though the table shakes I don't think it makes your brain hit around in your skull as they have all that stuff around you.
I would not let your employer pressure you in returning to work. Not until your neurologist and other doctors give you a release to go back. I know you are anxious and want to get back to your life but if you do not take the time now which is critical because you have been recently injured, you may find you did damage to yourself that is permanent. You may find you are not able to return to work. My advise is take the time now as it is your best chance for recovery for the future.
Good luck to you and I am sorry that you are suffering this very terrifying experience.
