No need to worry!: You feel absolutely nothing when getting an MRI. Your knee will be in the center of the machine and your head will be near the opening so you shouldn't have any feeling of claustrophobia. Some MRI machines have an open design for those who are REALLY claustrophobic, but we don't recommend these because the pictures are not as crisp. Take a deep breath and relax!
