Of course I was in the chair a long time. I was really tired and tried to nap when it was not necessary for me to pay attention and have my eyes open. Then I started to think how I spend longer in a dentist chair compared to an MRI. I wondered why the back of my head did not hurt. It then occured to me that I can move around and adjust myself as needed in the chair as opposed to the MRI when one MUST keep still. Maybe it has something with not being able to move at all for an extended period and the position (the head is down much more than in a dentist chair). One can only wonder. I just hope it does not continue to be a problem every 3-6 months.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11258414765006397310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10853043.post-1123109774660221132005-08-03T15:56:00.000-07:002005-08-03T15:56:00.000-07:00Yeah well there actually was like a cushion pad in...Yeah well there actually was like a cushion pad in the head rest. The guy at the MRI place said it was from the pressure of my head afer it happened again during the spinal MRI. Gosh I really could barely stand it! It was worse than the first time. I thought there was something wrong with the machine but it was fine when I climbed out. <BR/><BR/>The back of my skull is very lumpy. I think I might have a fatty tumor (small one) on the back there because I pressed on this gushy area that hurt on the way home.<BR/><BR/>The doctor I saw yesterday said sometimes heat is created by the magnets in the machine. When I asked what could be done he said take a vicadin (which I am allergic too) or some coedine.<BR/><BR/>Go figure!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11258414765006397310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10853043.post-1122603249987855472005-07-28T19:14:00.000-07:002005-07-28T19:14:00.000-07:00Oh, I *hate* that when they don't put a cushion un...Oh, I *hate* that when they don't put a cushion under your head, or your head just "sits" wrong! I had my entire brain and spine done (thoracic, lumbar and cervical) with dye all at once, which takes almost an hour, and I thought my head was going to be in a pool of blood when they finished, it hurt so bad. (and NO, I don't wear a ponytail! :P ) I was on that angular part where the head goes from almost vertical to sloping down to the neck. It felt like one giant bruise afterwards, like I had fallen and hit that spot on a brick wall.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hope you get good news!Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385264360966182956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10853043.post-1122513564095739952005-07-27T18:19:00.000-07:002005-07-27T18:19:00.000-07:00Damn babygirl!!
