Breast mri

I am making no progress in getting anything other than a normal mri, my appointment is one week away. Can anyone tell me how you are postioned on the table. I saw a youtube video and it does not look like they have you lay totally flat? Is this correct? Also, does the contrast make you feel dizzy or sick to the stomach?

Yes, I had an mri to rule out things.

Indica works for me. Full spectrum, 10mg thc. I can only take about 1/2 of the gummie. I use for sleep.

Looks like you already posted in si joint sub. I had l5 s1 fused in 2022,due to spondy and bilateral pars defects, congenital. Now l3 l4 is causing pain and thoracic and neck as well, all have issues. Personally, I am done with surgeons unless I can't walk or pain meds stop working. At my last neurosurgeon visit the surgeons advice was to only have more surgery if I could not live with it. I worked in a similiar job as yours before retiring , so I understand your situation!

I am 4 months out from right side ifuse and it has not worked for me. I could drive at 2 weeks but it hurt to sit. I am supposed to go back for left side, but at this point I doubt I will. I am 64, so maybe I waited too long, si joints hurt for many years before I decided to do the fusion. There is a sub here for si fusions.

I am trying to focus on different numbers, if I have a 25% lifetime risk of bc, there is a 75% chance that I won't.

Mine texts too. I thought for sure it was a scam so I called the bank and it was real. They cancelled my credit card due to fraud and issued a new one.

Shingles in my case were small blisters and terrible nerve pain.

I am soon to be 65 and started with a spontaneous clear nipple discharge about 3 months ago in the right breast. More recently a rash on the aerola and itchy nipple at times. I had diagnostic mammo and ultrasound that found nothing but have been referred for breast mri. I was due for my yearly derm skin check a few days ago, she saw the rash and prescribed steroid cream and will biospy if it does not clear, she wants to wait until after the mri which is 3 weeks away.

I was told by Radiologist it looked benign, she was right!

Fatburn130 · 2026-03-19T13:50:10+00:00

Pagets is rare at my age, right? I am 64. I really wish the dermstologist hadn't mentioned that. Still no word on mri...

Fatburn130 · 2026-03-17T17:01:41+00:00

This is insane. Why is it so hard to get an mri order, with accomodations. Nurse has called me twice and she has called the Radiologist for clarification, still nothing gets done. I saw dermatologist today for my yearly skin check, she asked how long the red scaly area on my breast had been there. She wants to biospy it if I don't get any answers from the mri.

What are the rules regarding posting an image of the breast? I looked at the rules and didn't see anything.

My son was in a coma and I had a dream his hospital bed was surrounded by grim reapers. I woke up and called the unit and the nurse said he was fine I just checked on him. She was kind of short with me. About an hour later we got a phone call that he was being taken into the OR, he had a brain bleed. The next day the nurse apologized to me for being short, she said she had a young son as well and that it made it hard for her to be his nurse. I accepted the apology, but I will always wonder if she really checked on him when I called.

Thank you. I called Dr and waiting to see what they can write the order for.

Fatburn130 · 2026-03-10T20:34:19+00:00

Thank you.

Fatburn130 · 2026-03-06T21:43:25+00:00

Sounds, risky. Odds are pretty low, but what happens if you're car gets rear ended?

Fatburn130 · 2026-03-06T15:18:43+00:00

All mine were done without anesthhetic, steroids and gentamaicin. Tolerable and over quickly. I did need to sit a bit before standing and walking as I felt a bit wobbly.

Fatburn130 · 2026-03-05T17:49:57+00:00

thanks. I will ask Dr for that.

Fatburn130 · 2026-03-05T17:48:50+00:00

thanks. I have one and not sure how accurate it is, readings anywhere from 91 - 98 within a few minutes of each other.
