Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi I did not do well the first time with the MRI it hurt and i couldn't stay still long so we only for 3 pics. They showed lumbar stenosis and disk problems. The last one was a breeze-it took 20 minutes and I just asked for 3 pillows and it was done. It showed 2 herniated disks that caused the sciatica and it was a breeze. Though there was a lot of prayer involved. I then had an steroid epidural and it wasn't pleasant cause I was not really put put but it did help for about 2 weeks. the level of pain dropped from 7=8 to 3=4 which is great but still not completely. Its worth it. So let me know how its going for you. > G/WI wrote: I may be getting diagnosed with sciatica but have to go thru my MRI first. I am so scared even though I have done the MRI before on my head. I have a shunt that has to be reprogrammed so I don't see how they could do too much with my back.
