Bone density tests are just like xrays... Possibly an ultrasound depending on how cheap the hospital is.
And heat radiation therapy sounds a little extreme for joint pain, sure you don't just mean heat therapy? :S
I've had 14 MRI's so far.
I hate them cause I always have to lie completely still in some tiny 'cilinder' for 2 fucking hours! I'm not even allowed so scratch my nose.
And as if that wasn't terrible enough it makes so much fucking noise, I always get those noise reducing headsets and they even play music. But when that machine starts to do it's work, I can't hear the music because of the noise it makes.
And the last 2 times I got an MRI were really weird, my body was really warm an I had this really weird feeling (not the fun kind) after I got out.
And kids, that's why I hate MRI's [/HIMYMquote]
