@19lin I have had many MRI's with no pain, You do not have wiring from a<br>neuro stimulator in you, do you? ladyjane85<br><br>

ladyjane85: No, I do have a lot of shrapnel in my stump and a little in some other parts but no electrical items, and I do not believe there is shrapnel in my spine or back as far as I know? My stump or other areas don't seem to bother me when I get an MRIs although I don't know why since the MRI is a big magnet? I drove a light weight type of tank called an armored personnel carrier, which was mostly made of aluminum, but the landmine would have been made of mental designed to fragment into many small sharp projectiles. I really can't think why it only gets really hot along my spine? I have not had any more in the last few years so I guess it will have to wait until next time or hope there is no need for any more. 19lin

@19lin Well, Lin you have had a lot to deal with, more than I imagined<br>when i responded. Your drs certainly should<br> be able to figure out if any of that material could cause the burning. You<br>are an honor to our military, and I salute you.<br>Just hate to hear all of what you all go through. My very best that your<br>pains become less. ladyjane85<br><br>

I had to have the stimulator taken out before they would do another MRI. The Pain Stimulator didn't do any good anyway. I hadn't used it for 2 years. Still hard to lay on the table for that long. I too asked to stop but they told me to hang in for a little longer.

I have never had this experience befor and it sounds very scary! Hope they figure it out!!@

@hosta Nerve stimulator does nothing but tries to make your brain<br>believe the vibration and you will forget the real pain. Had to have mine<br>removed also. But for a long time, my body would vibrate without it...<br>ladyjane86<br><br>

If you have any type of metal or metallic frag nesr your spine the MRI will pull it out causing burning pain

Although I find MRIs unpleasant, I have not experienced anything like that.
