Health Anxiety
I'm having MRI tomorrow for the first time due to nerve pain since last one month. I have health anxiety which increased due to this nerve pain and now I'm tensed by reading about side effects of MRI like body heating or nerve stimulation. Either ways I'm in trouble as I have to know the cause of pain but getting MRI is also causing anxiety

As someone who has had multiple mris, please be assured, they are fine!
It's ok to be nervous of the unknown.
Tell yourself, you are safe, it'll be over quick, and it cannot hurt you!
I hope it goes well and they get to the source of your pain, and it's something easily fixed!
Sending you best wishes for tomorrow!

@affableFig2352dont you worry as you feel nothing doing an MRI. Have done a handful as I do have a disc condition.
for me the main thing is asking sleep masks and music on the headphones they give you. If they cannot provide you a sleep mask bring your own and Don’t open your eyes as it can cause you claustrophobia.
itll be great to have your condition revealed to you so you’ll have pain management.
