MRI scan next week, wedged on rings!

I have three gold rings that I have never taken off in 15 years, I am very worried that I will have to get them cut off before an MRI?

Gold rings are fine, I wore mine for an MRI, they are not magnetic.

There's a YouTube video that shows a doctor getting a ring off a swollen finger that might help.
You need some elastic.
Can't link to it on my hope I don't think.

If they're gold, it's not a problem.

Thank you, that puts my mind at rest.

I promise I'm speaking from experience, I've had 7 MRI scans, that I can remember.
Hope it all goes well.

7 MRIs! Hope you're ok SB?

I'm fine thanks WildThong, I have a very slow-growing benign brain tumour that is being removed in 3 weeks -eek!

I hope your scan goes well, just try and see it as an opportunity to catch up on some sleep. Smile

Thank you and good luck to you!
