About MRIs is that the vibration will mess you up for hours afterwards.

While I couldn't hear many of the machine's sounds, I could feel every vibration of it down into my organs. By the feel of the vibrations, I could track what slice of knee was being imaged. Sometimes, I could feel tickles and jabs to the muscles and nerves in my knees, making them twitch involuntarily, as your foot would swing out when your knee was tapped with the small rubber hammer.

It was difficult walking at all afterwards. I felt as if I was still vibrating from my head to my toes, that tingling feeling you get just before the pins and needles sensation of returning circulation.

I was in the MRI machine just for my knees and only for 50 minutes,but the after-effects lasted for another 6 hours.

Here's hoping I never need another MRI. I prefer to be stirred, not shaken.
