I am extremely claustrophobic but, with the help of a 10mg valium, I recently easily spent an hour in the MRI (with the helmet on, no less). Ask your doctor for help when confronting the "tunnel."

thank you, and I appreciate your reply. The neurosurgeon who performed the SCS, ordered a CT Scan along with X-rays. He understands how laborious the MRI was for me, and if a MRI is called upon, I will take your advice.
