Yes: With any procedure being done, it is good to know the reasons for which you are having it done and the potential risks of having it done. With that being said, a wrist arthrogram is pretty well tolerated. It involves the injection of contrast into your wrist joint which then is followed either by X-ray, ct scan, or mri. It allows the doctor better opportunity to look for ligament injury.

Find out if the doctor has a lot of experience with arthrograms, and do not go to a residency training program. "A lot" is thousands of dedicated wrist studies, and NOT "I have done this before". With the proper procedure and an experienced doctor, a very small needle is used and it is almost painless. Your doctor should spend less than 15 seconds doing the injection, or you go elsewhere.
