Will i get any medicine for pain when i go for the computed tomography?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A routine ct does not cause pain. Even if contrast is given, only a small IV is placed and no pain medicine is necessary. If you have an underlying condition that causes pain and limits your ability to lay on your back you may need to talk to the doctor requesting the exam to see if you should take medicine prior to the exam.
