It has been recommended that I have an MRI to scan for possible cancer in the ureters leading to the Kidneys. The result affects the extent of a biopsy I need to investigate red spots on my bladder, also a possible cancer. In light of these comments, I will have to rethink the options here. Sounds like this may be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. They’re going to be sheduling me for this, probably within a week.

My husband was in the hospital in feb 07, with a serious infection in the left elbow. He was given a MRI twice during his hospital stay. After 4 days of being in the hospital he complained of pain through the right side of his lower body. I figured it was due to laying in the bed too long. A day or so later he was losing sensation in his foot. Six months later we have been to many Doctors trying to figure out what is causing my husband to suffer. He was a healthy man with an elbow infection cause by many years of machanical work. Now he can hardly get around. His right side is in pain, his right leg will hardly support his weight and his right foot causes him pain. All this is a result from being treated for a infection in the elbow.

Albert,
Good luck with Social Security, I too have had the very same issues that you have. I was recently diagnosed with Arachnoiditis it has came from the dye in mri’s in the early 80′s. I was told that I do not have any legal means of suing because of the statue of limitations. I have however got my SSD. Good luck and let me know how you make out.

I have had at least 10 M.R.I. test with the dye, and I have had alot of leg pain and stiffness for the last ten years, I am now disabled from the pain,and lack of
mobility, could that dye have given me these problems? (still fighting with social security) Thank You

Does having a MRI in any way damage knee replacements and knee revision? My knees bothered me for weeks after this was done.
