Bless both of you. As a retired nurse with many chronic problems, having had multiple MRIs, think she may be reacting to the noise of the MRI. Other than that, I don't know of anything and certainly no pain involved- perhaps a headache, again from the noise. Believe it will pass, but may be able to use as an opening to see the neurologist! I'd push your primary care doc for that referral, esp since she now wants the doc! Good luck and blessings!

My wife could finish an MRI because of the noise.
