My husband had to swallow a camera once to check out a possible ulcer...maybe it's similar to your possible situation. He had no problem with the procedure at all. The worst thing was the medication he took to control the gag reflex, it caused memory loss until it wore off (Just 6 hours or so). But he had no pain other than an irritated throat for a day or so.

My son gets echos yearly, I didn't know that you couldn't keep on doing that when you get older.

Take care, God bless!

same lol, it makes u feel like a little kid wen u aint.
i spoke 2 my doctor bout it and he gave me the option of the cam or mri, i choise the mri cos i din't want 2 b in hostipal 4 a full day, but am still worried, its 2morrow. i dnt know y i freak out every time i have 2 go 2 the hosipal. but that all i do 4 a few days b4. i should have vame ere 2 speak bout it wen i find out but i'd thought it wouldn't worry me.

any1 had a mri, what r they like? what happens, are they ok or scary?
