Question about MRI

Hi there, I am having some problems with my lower back and Neck. Went to see buero surgeon last week and he sent me for xrays and MRI. The longer i laid in the MRI the more my lower back hurt. Uhggggg
She did the one on my neck first and then did my lower back. We had to do the lower back one 2 times because the first one came out blurry... Why? Because the longer I laid --the worst the pain and my legs were like twitching? Not alot but they were twitching all by themself. i had no control over it... I have had Mri's before and had no problem at all. Anyone think this was happening because of something nerve related?
Thanks
sandy

Yes ,It's nerve related problem,When you lying down , the spine would to be more straight , therefore, will reduce the volume of spinal channel, then  give more stimulation to nerve root and  cause your symptoms.
