The MRI wasn’t unbearable, even if it’s not an experience I’d like to repeat any time soon, but I really wish I didn’t need to wait a week and a half to discuss the results with my orthopedist. They released the films to me (which, not surprisingly, I don’t know how to read), and I have an appointment with the doctor next Wednesday. On the one hand, I’ve waited this long… On the other hand, though, I’ve waited this long. And my leg still hurts.

It is a strange experience, isn’t it? You might be able to get the radiologist’s impression faxed to you – or at the very least, you could probably get a copy once you’re at the doctor’s. Sorry you’ve got to wait for the results. That’s no fun.
My head was at least partly outside the MRI, I was only in there for twenty minutes, and I’m not especially claustrophobic, so the experience wasn’t as bad as it might have been. But I’m not exactly chomping at the bit for a repeat performance soon.
My real concern is that whatever is wrong won’t be revealed on the MRI. I don’t want to live in pain, and especially not if it’s a symptom of something worse.
