A member asked:

Is it normal for my shoulder to feel like it is slipping out of place after a contrast mri on my shoulder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: When contrast is injected into the shoulder joint, it is meant to distend the joint capsule. It may make the shoulder joint slip but this should only last for one day. If you have an unstable shoulder, it may make it worse for a short time. If it is not better, see your doctors.
