Does getting dye injected into your hip for an MRI hurt badly?

I recently got an MRI on my hip with ink put into the injury. The numbing needle at first is like a bee sting, and there is a sharp stinging pain after he goes deeper into the hip to apply more numbing. I'm not going to lie it is slightly painful, but not bad enough to cry over. The pain is sharp and won't last long either. After the numbing they put the other needle for the dye in. At first you won't feel anything because of the numbing until he gets about half way. Then there will be slight discomfort from a feeling of pressure and from them moving the needle to avoid any issues. It's not too painful at this point, but if you feel any pain that isn't just pressure make sure to ask for more numbing!

Any injections of anything, can be dangerous. They can and do kill.

In addition, MRI injections are toxic, and have long term harmful effects.

Plus they are totally unnecessary.

You can get an MRI just as well with no injections.

I'll agree that an injection of anything CAN be dangerous.

But MRI injections are not "toxic", nor have they been shown to have long term harmful effects. There is currently a debate about deposition of gadolinium chelates in the brain in patients receiving INTRAVENOUS gad, but this is still up in the air. To my knowledge, there is no concern about INTERARTICULAR (i.e. into the joint) gad, which is what the test being described it.

Not totally unnecessary. Most common reason is to determine if labrum is torn and needs surgery. Labral tears very difficult to see without contrast in the joint.

As with any procedure involving the needle, the degree of pain depends highly on the pain tolerance of the individual, and the care exercised by the doctor injecting. But in general, the pain is very minor.

There is some degree of risk with everything. You seem to take it that there is extreme risk with everything.

In a situation of conflict, smart people have an easier time empathizing with the other person and understanding their arguments. They are also able to integrate these arguments into their own chain of thought and to reconsider their opinions accordingly.

A sure sign of intelligence is the ability to look at and understand things from a different point of view, and intelligent people are open minded towards new information and changing parameters.

Stupid people on the other hand will continue arguing forever and will not budge from their position, regardless of any valid arguments brought against them. That also means they will not notice if the other person happens to be more intelligent and competent.

This overestimation is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. It is the cognitive bias that makes less competent people overestimate their own skills while underestimating the competence of others.

Sadly, you work for a highly corrupted system that could care less about the safety of the patient and more about profit margin $$$ (if you're even a radiologist). The medical cartel is controlled by Big Pharma....nothing new there. This case illustrates the corruption with so-called "safe MRI injection dyes":

The medical cartel is loaded with fraud. Industry-funded safety studies on medical drugs. Hundreds of thousands of people dying and millions of people suffering serious adverse reactions every year from the "normal administration" of medical drugs. Fraud & corruption within the Holy Temple of the FDA:

But hey, if you're really a radiologist (general? MSK?) you're just a pawn in the medical cartel. Much like many doctors are nothing more than foot soldier for the pharma industry, you're under the umbrella of the system and are simply oblivious to the industry-funded safety studies & corruption.

Your post is really dumb: 0/10.👎.

Wake-up & smell the coffee!

I'm an MSK radiologist. Should have said INTRAARTICULAR, not INTER in original post.

I'll save you a click. 262, 000 arthrograms studied. 45 infections from the injection site. Zero deaths. But hey, don't let that stand in the way of wild assertions and conspiracy theories.

Look, I don't care what YOU do. If your hip is screwed up, by all means treat it with ginkgo, or maka root, or Yanni music. Whatever tickles your pickle. But don't scare people away from a procedure that is safe, and often the only way to diagnose their (often) excruciating pain. I say this as a doctor who has injected literally thousands of people, and used the test to diagnose hundreds of them with pathology, which when fixed surgically rendered them pain free and living normal lives. Is that what you'd define as "toxic"?

Sad thing is that you're not entirely wrong. Malfeasance happens with some drug companies. Which is why scientific studies are so important. When large scale, double blind, placebo controlled studies show a test is safe, it's generally considered safe. Kind of like why most people with a brain consider anti-vaxxers to be nut jobs.

Spoken like a true member of the medical cartel. Nice system you work for; the 3rd leading cause death in America now! And don't lecture me with your BS pal; I lost a family member to complications from a vaccine-induced autoimmune disease & drug-induced renal failure from the "FDA-approved drugs" that were used treat her condition! 😠 And you know darn well of all the industry-funded safety studies that pollute the journals...the same journals that you're trained to pay homage too!

Pay attention: Egregious fraud & corruption within the FDA...who would have thought:

Medical ERROR is now the 3RD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH in the US. But, oh well, who really cares:

Beware, and stay far away from those idiots.

I would LOVE to see a study on the amount of deaths caused by *Alternative* medicine. Oh wait, they dont report to anyone so there ISNT any! How convenient.

And yes I know this is a necro post, but I hate it when anti-vac alternative medicine science haters try to spread their bs. If you want to believe it thats fine. But until YOUR medicines and procedures are put to the SAME rigorous standards as conventional medicine, dont try to downplay conventional medicine as unsafe lol.
