now but that hasn't been the case in the ones I've had. But I did get ear protection which helped dampen the sound. I just pretended like I was listening to a really bad garage band practice. The small space bothered me more. I knew it was going to be tight but I wasn't prepared for the top of the tube to be so close to my head. I've had several since then and they weren't bad. But I'm not sure about five in one day. In some ways it would probably be better to get them over with. Maybe get some Xanax or Ativan to help with any anxiety?

Yeah, knees, hips, and abdomens aren't too bad. But shoulder, neck or head -- Tafkam Hokie May 13, 2025 at 05:35 PM ET

Can you schedule for an open MRI machine? Those are usually better.** -- Hokebury May 13, 2025 at 01:42 PM ET
