YAY! I had the open bore MRI and made it through. I will admit that at first, I panicked and started crying (lol) but after I calmed down it was a breeze. I think once I got in and realized that I would still see the room from all sides, I was ok.

Fear - 0
Me - 1

Yay!! Was it open or open bore? Isn't it SUCH a relief knowing it's over?

It was an open mri. I seriously think I couldn't tolerate open bore either. lol I"m just happy its over and done.

Afterwards the tech and I were chatting and she told me that if I ever needed an MRI above the chest, you have to go in head first so she recommended sedation if that ever happened. :D lol I agree!

After all that, they still can't see my ovaries! This is so frustrating! No rheumatoid, no lupis, just reallllly high SED level, anemia, and low protein. Still pain. Still problems. Next step surgical consultation.

Have you had any gastrointestinal tests? High SED, anemia, low protein were what my results looked like when I was having my first Crohn's issues.

My friend mentioned that and I have two cousins who have it, one has a cholostomy. The only thing is that he felt a mass on my stomach near my ovaries but now thinks it may have be in the muscle or above it. We got to that point because I was having severe pain in my leg/hip that was making me limp really bad. Like sciatic but in the front. We're both dumbfounded.

Have you considered seeing a physical therapist who specializes in Trigger Points? You might consider researching these:

The MacKenzie Method

The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook
