Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI've had two, one before and one after surgery for two slipped disks in the neck. ( I thought it was just shoulder pain, but when my left arm got paralysed and my fingers went numb, I was a little alarmed. Oh, and it started to hurt a lot ).
Originally posted by DBA_bloke View PostAccording to "House", prison tattoos can, owing to metallic particles in the ink used, lead to excruciating pain, when the particles are drawn through the skin, like bizillions of little razors. Just a thought.
[EDIT] Razor analogy is wrong. The metal oxide particles can heat-up and burn... rare, though.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Apart from your whole body turning inside out and spraying everyone with offal, you'll be fine. This is the NHS after all. Best medical care in the world.
I'm sure the foreign trainee operator who speaks no English and has had 2 hours training will look after you....

I've had lots and lots of MRI scans, sometimes as many as 6 in one day. There again, aw bless some other poster can fill in the rest.
Lucy: doubt it was radioactive...
If the machine is modern you won't need to lay as still as you did with the older ones.
The tattoos thing is that it can mess up the image. Excruciating pain indeed!?Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
