I can reach the front of myself.

But not the back.

So it's your shoulders, too?

Yes, actually.

I have JRA, so I get it everywhere in my body.

And IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

Care to explain?


Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.

stuff, that's not good. Well anyways, hope all goes well with the MRI.

I'm going to beg not too.

Because I have a metal plate in my knee. I didn't think it mattered, but since I might die from the super magnet.

My friend got a MRI once... They said the bleeding would stop but it never did...
Either A. you know nothing about MRIs or B. you're just trying to scare her.
MRIs are only really strong magnets.
They don't cause you to bleed.
Unless you have some metal stuff in you.
But then it's not just bleeding.
It's like, "oh oops I just turned it on without knowing she had metal in her pelvis well I guess I'll just watch as part of her body is ripped out of her, helplessly."

I'm so loving scared. If I tell them about my knee will they listen?

An MRI is srs bsns, if they don't listen to you and your knee pops out, they'll most likey end up paying for any reconstructive surgery and some compensation, too.

Duh. They don't just let you go in there with a problem.

I'm scared that they'll forget up again, because when first I injured my knee and I went to the Hospital, they ended up loving up the bone so much that a part of it became dislodged. So I had to go to another doctor in Baltimore to get the surgery.

I seriously don't think they'll screw up that badly again.

I remember I had an MRI once, I had to drink these disgusting fluids and the penny I swallowed as a kid made a nice second belly button. It was quite a fun morning.


Lol, kidding. I'm pretty sure my dad has had MRIs and his wrist was completely replaced with metal. Nothing to worry about...Unless they changed the type of metal they used.
