DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING: Why it is the secret weapon against chronic pain? Feb 21 2:59pm | By Susan Bee (@susanmbee)Comment receiving replies
I had a similar situation on an MRI last year. It was very painful to lay on my back in the position the tech put me. Pain was in my left quad, like I've never felt. The bolster didn't help.
He stopped it once because I moved and again for the same reason. I could not withstand the pain. He wrote in my chart I was "uncooperative!" Obviously he doesn't understand pain. It was UPMC Natrona Heights. A few days later my MRI was done at the St Margaret's location. They used a different bolster and it went great; pain free.

So sorry for your bad experience with the MRI tech. I'm sure that they have never experienced having to tolerate discomfort when you're already obviously in pain or you wouldn't be there requiring their services. They need some professional training for treating patients with empathy and consideration.
