sueyh Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Has anyone on here experienced one of these? Have to go for one next week.Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 No, but best of luck.MRI s are nothing to worry about, ( I have had several on different bits of the body) and I hope your results turn out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueyh Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks Norman, most kind. It's going to be a yearly thing but apparently they are notoriously hard to read (according to my genetics dr and the gynaecologist).Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi Suey, I'm the same as Norman, have them regularly on various body parts. haven't had one on the breasts but a friend of mine just did. You have to lay on your tummy and your boobs sort of fit into 2 holes lol. Not at all painfull like a mamogram. Janey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissie Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Just had one and, as said by others, you lie on your front - the only "painful" bit was resting what seemed like all of my weight on my breastbone on the central rod of the contraption, which was very hard! I hadn't realised it would last about 20-30 mins, otherwise I would have asked if there was something like a piece of sponge rubber they/I could put there. Very noisy, but nothing else to write home about. The results come through in about another 15 minutes and you take them back to your GP if necessary.Best wishesChrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueyh Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks Chrissie, I have to have one with injection and one without apparently.Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Usually they put a drip in your arm beforehand, then do a scan, then inject the produit via the drip nd do the second scan.You may experience a warmth going through your veins as the injection goes round your system./I have previously posted on the experience of having a IRM (MRI) scan, if you can find it.

sueyh Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thank you Norman, it went well, just a bit of discomfort with the plate beneath the breast bone but hey it's worth it to know if all is okay. Very kind staff at Amiens Sud Hospital.Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sueyh Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well I had this done on Monday but since Tuesday have had pain in the top of my arm. The cannular was put in my wrist so it's not near the site of that. The pain is from my elbow to shoulder. Very odd.Does this sound right???Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Did you lie with your arms above your head, or down by your side? I had to do the latter as I have shoulder problems. Hope your problem sorts itself out, but take care not to do anything strenuous with your arms for a bit.Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sueyh Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 After an excruciating day yesterday, I woke up this morning and the pain had virtually gone, still went to docs, he reckons it's muscular. Also results through of MRI and it is clear, so good news.Thanks all as always of your help and guidance.Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermal Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. The images can then be examined on a computer monitor, transmitted electronically, printed or copied to a CD. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).

cooperlola Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I just thought that I would revive this thread in case anybody else goes through this procedure in the future and finds it in a search.My experience today was somewhat different from Chrissie and Suey's since both boobs dropped down the same "trough" (don't know how I can describe it any better) thus I had no central bar to produce any discomfort in the breast bone. Whether the difference in procedure/machine is a local thing, I don't know, or if it's size related (I'm a G cup [:-))]). It took less than 15 minutes and the results (all clear, whoopee [:D]) were given to me by the radiologist ten minutes later. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueyh Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Coops, I am so pleased and relieved for you. Brilliant news. I was surprised that the MRI even found my boobs. My hubby always offers a route map to the mammographer!!Well done. Fab news.Sue xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
