Odd NSV- MRI tube is a much easier fit!

I spent a VERY long time in an MRI tube today.  I fit with room to spare!  The last time I had an MRI I was almost too big to fit.  I had to have a couple of MRIs on my painful right hip.  I was in the MRI machine for a little over 3 hours!  Good grief, I wasn't warned I would be there forever!  One of the views had me lying on my side.  I was totally shocked that I would fit while up on my side.  The tech even said I had some room to spare!!!  Amazing!

I'm sorry you had to have an MRI AND be in it for so long, but it's a good thing that you were able to fit in it, with room to spare. I hope you get the answers you need from the test. Take care.
Blessings,

Cool!  I've only ever had a knee done-didn't take that long but I really didn't like it and I don't think I have claustrophobia but who knows.

I am going to start focusing on things to improve balance/gait, etc. because I know my limp is going to catch up with me some day with back/knee problems if I don't.  Let me know if you need one of those big blow up core balls, I ended up with two (long story).  YOu can also try my wobble board if you want.  I can do it-but I don't really like it so I'm going to put a plank on it and use it for a dog wobble board (they are younger and can stand the strain better than me). 

Sorry to hear you had an MRI experience that took forever!  But I'm so glad it was a better fit!  Yay!  You rock!

What a wonderful feeling...

You go girl..

Yeah!!!  I will be having an MRI soon myself.  When I was at the doctor I told her I HAD to have the open MRS...thinking I wouldn't fit.  I still am going to try for that one just in case I have a 3 hour experience like you.  I'll have it for my right hip, lower back and neck from my accident I was in about 3 weeks ago.  (rear ended)  I doubt I would have room to spare in a regular MRI tube right now and don't want to find out so I'll go the open route if possible.  I hope you get good news and are "fixable"!!!  You're are looking absolutely awesome!!!  "LOOK OUT LADIES...SHE IS COMPETITION"!!!

Yay on the NSV!!!! But three hours? What happens if one is claustrophobic? Do they let you do an open MRI?

 YOU CRACK ME UP!! BUT SERIOUSLY I HOPE EVERYTHING COMES OUT OK!!

I love your wow moment!!!!!  Its nice that we have learned in this journey of ours to LIVE and appreciate the little moments!

Congrats on another WOW!
