Pain after MRI?
Yesterday, I had an MRI. I don't remember being in this much pain after one before. Therefore (five and six), I'm wondering whether I don't remember things from earlier MRIs, or perhaps something ... else ... I don't know what, but ... gah.
Getting set up for the MRI, the nurse put one head-brace on me, which made me feel like a car in the Australian Outback with a protective 'roo bar, but then she put a different one on me, which made me feel like Hannibal Lechter fastened to a dolly, with a taste for liver and fava beans. (Okay, I like neither liver nor fava beans, so don't start worrying!!!)
Going home, I thought that the pain would soon disperse, but it just got worse. My neck and shoulders, specifically, and I had a really hard time sleeping last night, despite having taken pain-killers that ought to do the job.
Could be worse, I suppose. I could have to have a spinal tap on top of that.
