MRI (rt) shoul

Vagus Hospital, Malleswaram, Bangalore
I: "kannada gothilla. English or hindi??"
Receptionist: "Yaru..... nod.... beku?"
I:"&%$*#...I have an appointment with doctor Sankar"
R:"................
.........
............. Wait maadi"
I: "alrt gyan is over" i thot
After 15 min.
Dr. Sankar: " MRI (rt) shoul"
I went to the billing Rs.6700 "Oh F&^*%" and then to the MRI scanning room at the basement. The guy there was cordial. He asked me to change to a gown. N after a few min, i am in that gown which dint have any buttons. It was hard to keep my body covered as i had nothing but only my underwear. Then the machine operator gave me some instructions "Do not move. if u move images wont come out properly and the scanning will take longer.There will be tak tak sound inside. Dont worry." Then he fitted an equipment to my right shoulder, asked me to lie down also gave me a head phone to listen to some FM station. Then he said "it is going to take some 30-40 min". "Oh my god"i thot. Then he pushed me inside a hollow cylindrical equipment. Initially it was fine. Then that tak tak sound... it was more than just tak tak... it was really banging but not continuously. Intermittently i was able to listen to some songs but felt choked inside dat hole after some time. But "i shud not move" this thot kept me there motionless. Also some other common phenomenons started surfacing. Whn u dint want to  move, some parts of ur body starts itching and it was no different for me. Those parts of the body which have never itched had also started itching... Then i thot of some of the previous days' happenings and also to write abt many things which i have been holding for some time. I have found out the titles for my posts, viz,
1. The concept of private roads
2. You killed the friend in me (Action thriller fiction ha ha...)

After abt 30 min, i got my freedom. Changed to my normal dress and i was told to come 2day (26.04.2012) to get the results.

And the result said "Marrow edema: STIR marrow hyperintensity"

couldnt understand much until the doc said " Inflammation in the joint which reduced the effective space for shoulder movements"

Happy that my ligaments are fine. Got another set of medicines and also told to meet the doc after 15 days.
