bulging better. The MRI lying down is done feet first and depending on the size of the magnet your head might be outside the tube.
After dragging beached whales across xray/ct/mri tables for 40 years I had developed spine problems. The BEST thing I have found is the use of an inversion table. You see the guy hawking the "Teeter" inversion table.. For my condition it works a treat. It's basically traction for your spine When I feel the ache or pain shooting in my butt or leg I just get on the inversion table and hang like a bat for about ½ hr. I listen to music or a pod cast..
If you think about it, if it's a pooching out disk putting pressure on the nerve If you stretch the vertebrae apart, you also relieve the pressure on the nerve by sucking the disk back into place and the pain reduces.. You have to break the cycle of pressure, inflammation of the nerve and swelling. Drugs do it by relaxing the muscles and reducing the inflammation so the disk can go back to where it's suppose to go. The inversion table and 2 Aleve do the same thing for me..
Now this is how I do it and it works for my herniated disk.
I don't know about other spine problems YMMV
