[PoyeBoy]

I am getting one on weds, do they stick ya with a needle?

I need the MRI on both of my shoulders, how long will this take?

just wondering

no needles.....


you have to be very still in a cold room, for about 45 minutes...and a machine does things

I had one Saturday at one of the open MRI places for my arm. They clamped my arm down, rolled me back into the machine, and I had to listen to lite rock in addition to the noise of the machine. It took about 35mins just for my left arm.

No needles though.

Yeah, is it covered by insurance?

Im only 19 and my shoulders crack like crazy.

I also notice some pain when working out.

it takes a while.... it pretty much sucks

they stick you in a small ass tube for the whole time.

they put some headphones on you and play some elevator music, and everyonce in a while the lady chimes in to see if your ok

the thing is loud as hell and sounds like its gonna break

oh, and if you move even a little bit it fucks it up and they yell at you

I have to pay my 500 deductable, but they have a decent billing plan, I only have to pay a minimum of $15 a month

I couldnt work out for about 1.5 months, my shoulders hurt really bad 24-7, sometimes I cant sleep

I tried chest last night for the first time in around 3 months, that was a friggin joke, snap crinkle crinkle, it sounded like a damn popoid

I can do anything else but chest with minimal to substantial pain, but when I do chest it hurt extremely bad

That sucks mang.

I think I screwed up my shoulders by lifting stupid and heavy in high school. Shoulders crack on every turn when I do "arm circles".

I just returned to the gym for a 1.5 year layoff, and my shoulders still crack and pop like crazy.


Takes me 10 minutes to warm up my shoulders and I do alot of rotator cuff exercises. Hope it does not get worse.
