A member asked:
Is it possible for muscles to get tense or numb during mri. (went for neck pain on right side & back pain) my lower extremities got tense , felt like they were going to twitch? contrast was taken too
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Due to the rapidly changing high magnetic fields used to generate an MRI image, small muscle twitches are frequently experienced.
