MRI Scan
I was referred to Neurology for my migraines. I initially thought it would just be a headache clinic and be for pain management. The appointment came in for a Neurologist. He confirmed i am having migraines after going through all my background and all the questions. He then done some physical tests and mentioned I had muscle function weakness in my legs, I explained I was 7mpo from a full hysterectomy and thought it was just because I hadn't started lifting weights again. He offered to put me on Duloxetine for the migraines but I refused as I don't want to be on antidepressants for anything! I said I will stick with the triptans for now. He then said he was going to send me for an MRI.....no explanation why. I had already googled everything like every single thing about sore heads as my migraines are awful sometimes and at times I thought I was going to die so I know that MRI scan won't show migraines. I am now wondering why he has sent me for an MRI. Any ideas?
I have been for the MRI and it was awful. I had stop it after 4 mins to be sick, never felt like that in my life I am not usually claustrophobic, it passed quickly and I managed to get the scan done but never again.....the feeling and the noise was horrific!
Anyway any insight into what they could be looking for in the scan would be appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. I am in Scotland so not easy to just call up my Neurologist and ask questions or my GP..... they kinda hopeless tbh.
