Was at the hospital today for an MRI scan of my problematic shoulder.

Didn't know what to expect but had seen them on the TV and wasn't bothered.

But man, I felt terribly claustrophobic when inside the machine.

Scan lasted 50 mins.

Started ok, I slid back into the machine but then was raised up until my face was around 3-4 inches from the top of the inside, felt uncomfortable but thought i would be ok.

Was so noisy as well, had headphones on playing music but this was drowned out by the machine.

The last 20 mins sweat was running down my face and my heart was racing, only thing that stopped me from pressing the buzzer to get out was the fact that I would have to do it again.

Just hope the scans show what they need to.

Can anyone share their own experience of a scan?
