My back pain has gotten even worse over the last couple of years, and it prevents me from doing much in the way of exercise, even walking is too much
some days. Doctors wanted me to get a new MRI done to see how bad things have gotten. Went to my scheduled appointment and the sympathetic (and very
hot) technician told me I was too fucking fat to do it. She just used nicer language. Manufacturer's specs stipulate nobody over 300 Lbs can go in
the machine. Turns out I'm up to 305.5 Lbs these days. I can't catch a fucking break.random - 10-13-2012 at 08:08 PM
Shit, I just saw this. I always go straight to the General Discussion forum.
That sucks to hear. I've gained a lot of weight over the last few years and topped out around 300 lbs. I think I've lost some weight since going
vegetarian and then vegan. I don't check my weight, by my belts have a few extra inches that I couldn't utilize before, so something is changing.
I was in an MRI scanner a few times at max weight, and nobody ever thought twice about it or raised a fuss.
Check your u2u. I'll send something soon.BDx13 - 10-14-2012 at 11:51 AM
ug, that sucks. sorry, discipline. hopefully the 5.5 can be dropped with diet adjustments so at least they can do the scan and see what's up. Discipline - 10-15-2012 at 03:29 PM
I'm getting rescheduled for an appointment at another place with a newer machine that can handle fatties.JawnDiablo - 10-20-2012 at 11:56 AM
you Canadians and your socialized healthcare.
here in the states we have a one size fits all MRI machine.
last time I went they just buttered my hips up and shoved me in forcefully.BDx13 - 10-21-2012 at 08:04 PM
