I Had An Mri Yesterday

**Animal Cracker** · 01-30-2004, 04:46 AM

Yesterday I had an MRI to check-up on my Rotator Cuff tear. I had to be given the dye via an injection directly into the joint...of course they had to stick it in the joint 5 different times to ensure it was at the optimal angle. They did not even wait for the anesthesia to kick in..I would rather kicked in the nuts by a mule than to ever go through that again!

i've had two mri's, one on my knee and one on my back, and neither of the times did i need any sort of die injection..

**bigol'legs** · 01-30-2004, 05:56 PM

ive been in the mri machine 2 times...

both times I feel asleep... haha

but I had to get my eye scanned and my brain to make sure no glass went through the orbital socket into my brain..

Well first off, I had the thing done in an Italian Orthopedic Clinic (Socialized medicine does not breed good hospitals)..then they stuck that **** needle right into the joint...they jabbed 5 times with the anesthesia...immediately went to the dye..that was the worst part...when they were putting the second part of the dye mixture in..the nipple broke off of the syringe..I almost vomited, that hurt so bad!!
Once I left the clinic in Syracusa going back home to Catania,and easy hour drive, I had been home about 30 minutes...then the anethesia set in!

had it done in exactly the same manner. only plus was that my shoulder was huge because it was full of the dye. that was cool, but it hurt like ****.

Makes me wish I were a little Mofo...smaller needle, less dye! The needle they used for the dye looked like corochet hook!

so what are you tellin me bama? how did you feel 5-6 hours later? i have an important game that night and i wanna know if i'll be able to play. did the docs tell you to rest? or did they tell you to do what was comfortable...'cause scoring the game winner in OT makes me pretty comfortable
