I have Elhers Danlos Syndrome. Every MRI I have had causes tremendous pain. Yes, I feel the hot heat, but it's not nearly as painful as my joints being pulled from their sockets, and reassembled. It's like being stabbed with a fish hook and your bones and large tendons get pulled apart, depending on which part of the body they are imaging. If there is an injury in these areas, the pain is intensified. At one point the radiologist called me on the speaker, and said they needed to reduce 3 tests cause they were blurry. I was strapped down, and couldn't move, and it turned out that filmed the exact moment that multiple bones dislocated while under MRI imaging. We had to stop multiple times so I could pop my joints back into socket, after each test. It was an excruciating 2 hours, and I was severely sick afterwards.

I just had an MRI of my cervical spine and brain at North Suburban Hospital in Denver like 9 hours ago. The pain in my right shoulder and arm were the worst pain I have ever felt. I had to endure 33 minutes of excruciating pain followed by maybe 20 minutes until they gave me dilaudid via IV. I have had MRIs done on my neck, lower back, and both shoulders previously at other facilities, and have never had a problem. This was horrible. I was moaning and writhing in pain. I began hyperventilating and shaking uncontrollably during the MRIs. I squeezed the rubber notification unit, but they did not stop the scans. It was ridiculously horrible. When I told them, they seemed surprised, and said the MRI could not have caused the pain. After reading a couple pages here before writing this, I find it very hard to believe that they seemed so surprised, unapologetic, and denied that the MRI could have caused it. BTW - the pain changed a little with the different pulse variations. After the MRI, until the pain medication kicked in, I could not even move my arm without making the severe pain even worse. It was terrible.
