@sapphira- Welcome to Mayo Connect. I think that I stated something confusing. I did not say that my husband, not me, couldn't get an MRI because his insurance wouldn't pay for it. His insurance wont pay for it until he does a certain amount of PT.
I hate MRI's myself. I almost stopped the machine the last time, at the very beginning, but the technician said I would just have to come back. That straightened me out! He put a small scarf over my head so I could only see straight ahead, not up so I couldn't see what was confining me!
