hey guys so ive had this nagging injury in my elbow for the longest time and ive been to doctors since last yr about it and all they gave me were anti-inflammatory drugs and did a few xrays but no real diagnosis...so i just let it linger and adjusted my work outs accordingly...but last November i went to bed and woke up the next morning and my arm was asleep which usually occurs because i sleep on my arm...but this time i never regained feeling in my ring and pinky finger. so i went to the doc again and he finally set me up with an mri.
so last night i went to go do it...and let me tell u guys it was the most annoying experience of my life. i dont know if any of you guys have been thru it before but i had to lay in the most awkward positions for 45 min..and it makes annoying sounds the whole time your in there...they even gave me ear plugs...but now that its over hopefully i get the results and figure out whats going on in there...

when i had mine done, the machine was overheating, and made me all paranoid because it felt like I was getting zapped to death by this machine. I told them it was hot during the process and they assured me it was ok. after getting out, they felt the machine and was like - yikes, this was really hot! Started getting strange contractions in my back towards the end - hopefully i am not MRI poisoned, lol
