No contrast. He says that although he runs across many patients who "say" they have reactions to contrast dye, he sometimes uses it anyway b/c it isn't that much. I told him that is what almost cost me my life. I would appreciate it if he didn't use any b/c I am very sensitive.
He didn't use it.
Since I'd had the double GAD infiltration the day before, I think he felt sorry for he and wasn't going to take any chances!
He could see that I was really in a lot of pain and had these huge bruises on my arms from the IV problems the day before!
Anyway, I am feeling better, the pain is subsiding! YEAH! Now if they can only figure out what is causing the pain in my upper arm, I will be one happy camper!
