No, no dye is used. Relax and enjoy the clanking.

You may or may not need contrast/GAD depending on what your Doctor is looking for. MRI's are a very simple procedure to go through (I see 50 or so done a day

Gadolinium may be necessary depending on the suspected pathology. |

Yep. They stuck me good. That MRI tube fits me a bit tighter than it did back in '89. I couldn't take a full breath and I got a muscle spasm/cramp in my back. Good thing I don't suffer from

Had one in a new "open" machine. A lot less confining and much better on the noise.

Sometimes we get people that we can't fit into our machine, and then we have to send them to out other facility that has an open MRI. Claustrophobic patients have to bring a designated driver, and then we set them up with a nice dose of Valium. Eric E |

I asked for a muscle relaxor for my spasms and she said they didn't have any. Should have asked for Vallium instead. They work great for muscle spasms. I know because the sawbonz that did my surgeries back in '89 gave me Vallium to stop some crippling spasms.
Test results on tuesday. If it turns out shitty, I'll suffer along untill the Christmas break to get opened up. That way I wont be out of too much vacation. I'll take four days vacation and get sixteen days off. |

Had one three weeks ago on the right shoulder. Noisy but not too bothersome. Riding submarines helped a bit. The docs noted three things wrong requiring surgery.
Next week I get another MRI on the left shoulder. This will be number three on that side and two surgeries so far. Hurts like hell again and 1000mg of over the counter pain meds every four hours isn't having much of an effect any more. Getting old sucks!

I have an MRI done every 3 months. I love them now, 45 minutes of pure solitude!
