A member asked:
How horrible is it if i have to get a mri done for a small concussion with only a headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not horrible: Getting an MRI is not painful though people can complain about the close confines. The scan will only last 30-60min and most patients get through it without a problem. mild anti-anxiety meds can be used to help those with problems (need to ask your doc) or open scans can be obtained, though open scans are typically not of the same quality as close scans. You'll do ok! Good luck
