Sorry to hear about your dad and his experiences with Crestor complications. You are correct some of us are just unlucky. My brief story, my fusion in 1990 with then gold standard using stainless steel plates and screws. We now know this causes damage above and below the points of fusion so I cannot have an MRI at least not the lower part of my body. Knock on wood I haven’t needed one yet. But it puts me at a severe disadvantage diagnostically if and when it becomes necessary to need one. At 71 I hope it never happens because I just cannot see going through surgery to remove 30+ year old hardware only to replace with titanium on the off chance I’ll require an MRI. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and stay healthy.

Thanks for your note. Hey, it turns out I also had a spinal fusion, though I have the titanium rods lol. And yes, I’ve had to have MRIs, but they’re all questionable because of the artifact from the metal. They have a special type of MRI that can minimize the interference but it causes the machine to get really warm inside. Hopefully you’ll not have reason to need one!
