Gadolinium contrast MRI? uh-oh . . .
« on: July 07, 2004, 06:13:32 PM »
Hey fellow Kneegeeks,

What can I expect with a Gadolinium contrast MRI?  

My Doc is trying to rule out 1) Neuroma, 2) Glomus Tumor  3) Deep Bone contusion.  

I've been told that I will be getting an injection for this test.  Exactly WHERE do they stick you?  

I'm very nervous.  Please help.

3 MRI's (just a little fluid)
Hoping third Ortho doc is magical

Good luck and keep us posted

I had one for my shoulder.  It is no big deal.
