So,has anyone had one of these? I am into my sixth month of recovering from a tibial plateau compression fracture (NOS). The fracture has healed nicely but walking for distances is still an issue.
I see the doctor again in 6 weeks for re-evaluation, and if the walking still creates a problem, he wants to do an MRI of my knee with dye.
The problem.....I am NEEDLE PHOBIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG TIME!!!!!!
Has anyone had this type of MRI ? Does the dye go into a vein or into the knee joint (I would have a coronary on the table!). I've heard conflicting methods.
It's not easy to admit what a medically paranoid baby I am - but it is what it is...
...any info would be appreciated!
PS When they have to do painful procedures, why can't they roll in a tank of nitrous oxide? If the dentist can put you in
"La-La" land for fillings, why should doctors make us suffer through the pain of huge needles???? Am Ithe only "chicken" out there?
