They arent bad. Just lay really still and if you are claustrophobic, you may want to close your eyes.

I've known others who have had it, but no personal experience and hope to never have it. Best wishes and God bless. Here's to hoping it's something simple and easy to care for. drinker flowerforyou

its simple, you just lie there and they put you through a small tunnel. i had a abdo MRI, i think those show up more. in my opinion a laporoscopy will be there next step.

No worries. It is easy. They inject you with dye which might make you have a flash of warmth (nothing really uncomfortable, just strange) then they lay you real straight and you slide into the tube. It really doesnt take very long at all, and if you are claustrophobic or very nervous, sometimes they will give you a little something to take the edge off. You feel the same coming out as you did going in. No problems and nothing to worry over.flowerforyou

I had it three times . There is nothing to worry about .
If you have allergies , please let them know and this is very important .
