Hi, I have my mri of my neck tomorrow to try to determine the cause of my pain and loss of movement. I am worried that as the steroids have really helped they won't find anything. On the other hand I don't really want them to find anything!!!!

I am so nervous and worried about the outcome. If they don't find anything they may take my painkillers off me and I can't manage without them. Oh I'm just so anxious. I know its silly.

I will be glad when its over!

Deb

    Hi Deb,

    I am sure they will not take anything from you and I also think they may be able to at least get on top of your problem and sort you out.

    Its not too long to be done, my back was done in 3 sections the same time and the neck was the quickest bit so try not to worry and fingers crossed they will be able to help you and take care. Luv Cris x

    Good luck, I do understand about finding a problem. When you have pain and docs can't find the problem, you feel a fraud, so a positive result shows that the pain is real!! :? I think, too, that its better to know what you'r up against, it stops you wondering about things you DON'T have!!!! :) We are just all a bit odd about things sometimes. :):) LOVE Sue

    Hi Deb

    Good luck for you tomorrow! I didnt know that these scans were done a sunday? Thought things like that were only available in office hours! How wrong I was!

    Good luck :wink:
