Got an MRI on my shoulder today. Should get a call form the doc in a few days and see how things look. I can move my arm a lot more than I could a few weeks ago, but still can't raise it above shoulder height. After reading a bit about Rotary Cuff surgery, it doesn't look like a fun recovery.
The MRI itself was interesting. I've had CT scans before - you're pretty much in a big donut. Apparently MRIs are a lot longer (as you can see in the pic). It doesn't look bad when you're outside of it. But once you're slid in, it gets very small. and very long. Your hands are at your sides - and you pretty much couldn't scratch your nose if you had to. yipes. The best you can do is to close your eyes and relax. Classical music on the headphones helped a bit. Actually the loud hum of the machine was very helpful - like a meditative sound generator. I think I fell asleep for a short time. Just don'r open your eyes... :)
