What to do if i have to get an mri on my wrist and i'm so scared. i got one on my knee once and i didnt need an iv. will i need one for my wrist?

Depends: U will need an iv if ur doctor orders it with contrast. If the order was for an arthrogram u would need an injection into the joint. If none if the above then no needle sticks
