Seeking the experience of others. For a few weeks now I have been experiencing severe sciatic pain. For those who have had it I don't have to explain how painful it can be. I tried to get an appointment with a specialist but was told I needed a referral from my GP. I got this but was then told the specialist would not see me without having an MRI. So back to the GP who set up the MRI exam.
This was scheduled for yesterday but without going into detail (childhood trauma) I could not handle confined MRI "tunnel" and had to call it off. It was embarrassing but there you are. I contacted my GP's office to see what alternatives I have and so far have heard nothing back.
Has anyone been there who can suggest ways they solved such a situation? Short of being totally out there is no way I can face the MRI.
