The specialist I am seeing ordered this for me and I had it done the other day. I can honestly say it was one of the worst things I have ever gone through.

It was 30 minutes long and the noise was excruciating for me. I immediately questioned the specialist's judgement for subjecting me to the type of experience/pain to my injured brain. I almost involuntarily squeezed the "call" bulb they put in your hand while your inside the machine.

I'm happy to have had the test done. There just has to be a better way for a PCS sufferer. A less painful way. I had ear plugs and the technician added cotton padding to the outside of my ears which may have helped somewhat.

I seriously think they should have some type of heavy sedative available for people suffering from concussions and PCS that need to have an MRI done. Personally I would even do general anesthesia if it were available and didn't affect the image results.

Has anyone else had an MRI done with a concussion or PCS?

Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
