A member asked:
I had a brain mri with contrast for headache needle in left hand. since the am after, i have had severe wrist pain (one week now). is this related?

Hard to say: But if it is the same wrist and nothing happened (like an injury) after the IV it is possibly related. Is there any swelling, discoloration, heat in the wrist? Better check in with the person who ordered the mri. Meanwhile, try heat packs and an analgesic.

Probably not: If the exam was uneventful and the pain is in the wrist joint, no. It is possible though rare to get a phlebitis in a vein after an IV injection but is is extremely rare for mr injections. It also tends to resolve itself.

Maybe: Could have phlebitis or if the gadolinium extravasated, a local reaction. Get checked.
