I go in for my MRI in about a week. They'll have to inject me. It's for my shoulder so I assume it will be an inject somewhere in the shoulder.

Should I avoid delt and tricept injects for the time being?

I wouldn't think so.....just tell the nurse to lean on the pin a little when she hits that scar tissue. What are they giving you an injection of?

I think they inject some type of blue ink to show any kind of trauma, tear, torn cartilage or tendon,....

I doubt you'll have any trouble with injects in your delts or triceps. I don't think those injections they do for MRIs are IM injections exactly. I have a link about MRI procedures:

http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=149

I know it is a cancer institution, but it gives a general procedure for getting an MRI. It sounds to me like the dye is an IV injection, not a IM injection. The page also noted that you can take medicines as you normally would.

Ahhh, so it is like cortisone shots--right into the joint--ouch. The link I posted didn't say how the shot was done so I assumed IV since it wouldn't do much if done IM. Pain from those shots is usually more than just a gear shot. Good luck!
