a friend of mine had the MRI with contrast 3 motnhs ago. She was not told in avance it was required and was not screened for kidney function. No other health problems, however she is still having problems as a consequence of the contrast. She was not allergic to anything prior to it, but has had tingling, itching, muscle spams, including her head and face since. Hospital denies it is due to the contrast and are not giving her medical assistance. Apparently the nurse let some of the contrast go out of the vein.
It is because of this experience that I am very concerned and probably will refuse the scan or the contrast and will ask for an ultrasound test instead.
Has anybody had similar experiences?
