Well it was finally done today. How did yours go?

Mine was loud, and the dye kind of hurt. My arm got super sore from being at my side for so long. And the ladies didn’t tell me anything, just to call my dr in like two weeks for the results.

    Hi Lilee. That sounds like mine. I had no idea there was a blood test ahead of time, which was the most annoying part. And yep, my arm was sore for a day or so. Best wishes for getting good results back.

    Mine was the opposite. The tech was really sweet. Gave me headphones with piano music playing and talked to me at the start of each scan to tell me how long it would last. I had my MRI done the Monday before Thanksgiving, and the results were back the Saturday after. St Joseph Women Hospital is awesome.

    lucky. I felt totally lost in there but not only that, they said they would tell me when they put the dye into me. Then shoved me down the rabbit hole lol, so I was laying there wondering if their mic was broke, for like fifteen minutes and wondering if the dye was in me or yet. There was very little guidance or telling me what they were doing. I wasn’t not even asked to talk or breathe in or out. It wasn’t at all as I was expecting, but I was really hoping for an answer today

    That sucks, Lilleeob. It's unfortunate that you had such a bad experience. Do you have a nurse navigator that you can call? She may have access to your results, and she'll there to make this whole ordeal easier for you.

    MRI often may yield different diagnostic information compared with CT. There may be risks and discomfort associated with MRI scans. Compared with CT scans, MRI scans typically take longer and are louder, and they usually require that the subject enter a narrow, confining tube. In addition, people with some medical implants or other non-removable metal inside the body may be unable to undergo an MRI examination safely.
