Ditch the Chiropractor, get an MRI

I was scheduled for an MRI do to my persistant back problems that my chiropractor could not fix.  I was really nervous leading up tp this appointment; I am a bit claustorphobic, and being stuck in a cylindrical machine is really not my idea of fun.  I have been seing a choiropractor for the past year, and truthfully I feel worse than before.  I finally had the guts to own up to my insurance and demand an MRI, often times Dr.’s will give you the run around and try to prescribe alternate forms of medicine and therapy bacause these diagnostic tests are just to darn expensive.  The MRI was a cake walk, I covered my eyes with a cloth and the whole ten minutes seemed to go by quickly, it is a bit loud in there, however, earplugs muffle most of the sound.  I had a contrast image done, where water based die is injected in your arm, and that was just as easy. I hope that these images can determine the nature of my discomforts, dealing with back problems at age 30 is unexceptable, I feel broken, nobody should have to deal with such pain.  If you are still suffering from back pain or any other pain that months of therapy cannot fix, DEMAND AN MRI or any other diagnostic tests,……IT IS YOUR RIGHT!  Stay tuned for my test results.
