Just curious. Do you have physicians who order MRIs with any regularity to track your disease?

I have had like 4 MRIs in the past 6 years or so. And I just received an order for another one - I'm post-op so I like to take a looksie but I know these are expensive on insurance...
 
I have never had a MRI and don't ever want to , way too claustrophobic. I have had a scan once a year but only because I was in pain, hopefully it wont be for a couple of years, not good for ya.
 
I've had about 10 MRIs (in the past 6 years).... They're not too bad but they usually ask me to drink a horrible liquid to empty my bowels which is horrrrrrrrible......
I've never had a CT scan though
 
I had 3 CT scans last year within 4 months due to an abscess and perforation but I don't have them regularly to review things.
 
I have had 1 CT scan, but the ER Doc who finally figured out I have Crohns. It was about 1 1/2 years ago.
