MRI and burning sensation.

[Cantkinsale]

Had an MRI of the abdomen and pelvis recently, and could feel heat (thought nothing of it at the time). An hour or so later it felt as tho I was wetting myself with hot water running down me. I hadn't, it was just that sensation.

Anyone else had this? Should I mention it to the consultant when I go for the results, or is this normal? Not my first MRI and definitely didn't happen the last time.

Did you have a contrast injection? Not sure if they do that for MRIs but if you have a CT they do and that makes you feel like you're weeing. That happens right away though. Probably not very helpful but that's all I could think of!

I did have the dye , yes. Never had a CT before. Weird it didn't happen the last time tho (also with the dye). I do have fluid filled cysts, it was as if one leaked if that makes sense.

Definitely likely to be a reaction to the contrast (dye) they used rather than the MRI.

Two dogs, thank you for the link. Good to know it's normal.
