Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia x rays

fibromyalgia

Avatar m tn Went in to make sure nothing was wrong, and they took 3 X-rays. One cervical spine, 2 lumbar views. I stood against a white background and she pointed the X-ray machine to the area, but the machine was about 2-3 feet away. She did not place a lead shield on me while conducting these X-rays. I'm very concerned I was exposed to too much radiation?! Plus I am breastfeeding, and my breasts were never covered.
Avatar m tn I got my reStor implants over two years ago, and never received any warnings about X-rays and such. Since then, I have had X-rays, an MRI, and gone through lots of airport scanners, and my opthalmologist says my eyes and lenses are fine.
6711838 tn?1405009844 I still assist and take X-rays with this baby also, the way they make X-ray machines now days, u get more radiation from the sun.. Good lick and Congrats!!
Avatar f tn As long as you were shielded properly you will be fine. I am a radiology technologist and I get asked all the time about it since I am pregnant. Patients always question why I'm taking x-rays pregnant. I always shield pregnant ladies with 2 shields. The radiation was just to your wrist which is a small amount. I wouldn't worry about it unless you weren't shielded.
Avatar f tn That means i have to take a lot of x-rays on patients. My dentist had me stay away from taking x-rays for the first trimester, but now he thinks i am past the risky stage in my pregnancy and i should start taking x-rays again. What do you think?
Avatar m tn We have to do some spine X-rays for our child this year? We are very concerned about radiation and possible long term effects. She has had 2 panoramics teeth and 2 xrays for her shoulder over the years. Now they need about 4-5 spine X-rays. What is the risk??
Avatar m tn The doctor said our child needs about 4-5 X-rays over the next year. In the last 10 years she has had 2 dental panoramic, bite wings, 2 shoulder X-rays. Should I be concerned about radiation at this point?
Avatar n tn i also get sharp pain in my lower sternum. my ribs and back seem to be super tender to the touch. ive had x-rays but they showed nothing. im only 15 but it has been going on for a year now. if anyone has any idea pls let me know!
Avatar m tn There are so many things it could be. Getting some blood work, x-rays, MRI, etc. Is a good place to start. Fibromyalgia is a rule out diagnosis. It can also affect different people in different ways. When I have flare-ups I tend to feel generalized deep aching most places and my arms and legs feel like lead. I also tend to feel like my thigh muscles are burning, almost like way overexercising them.
Avatar f tn I was in a car accident in January of 2013 and still in pain everyday, either my neck,back, hips, or shoulders. I've gone for X-rays, chiropractor for months, to a pain dr. who wants to do injections, nobody wants to do an MRI so I'm insisting tomorrow to rule out major things, I do have spurring in my neck but X-rays are otherwise normal. How should I approach my dr. About fibro? My mom has it, can it be genetic?
Avatar m tn Feeling very unwell, sometimes unable to get out of bed, pain on left side of face and head. Had x rays, cat scan, MRI, blood work. All normal except for slight thickness on left side. Nobody can find infection, and yet I respond to antibiotics to the point I am able to function, ei. Get out of bed, shower, go for a walk. I am currently taking ibuprophen for pain. Outside of this, I was a very healthy, active person.
Avatar n tn A disorder called fibromyalgia can produce these symptoms (tenderness). Please consult your primary care physician who will carry out blood tests and x rays to rule out these conditions. In the meantime you can take OTC pain medication Ibuprofen. Ensure to take this medication after food to avoid gastritis. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I have been having terrible lower back for three years and I have been to my family doctor, chiropracters, x-rays, MRI, other doctors and everyone says that there is nothing wrong with me. I have a cousin who has fibromyalgia and was talking to her about her symptoms and I seem to have the same thing. Can you help me?
Avatar n tn While there are a lot of sources that say dental X-rays have minimal radiation, etc. I am still a bit concerned, since I consistently get ill after getting dental x-rays. I was wondering if there was any cap to radiation exposure built into the dental x-ray machines, or whether it was at the dentist's discretion how much radiation was used. I am basically wondering if it was possible for a dentist to purposely (or accidentally) expose you to dangerous levels of radiation.
Avatar n tn An X-ray film can be hazy especially abdominal X-rays when there is too much gas in bowel. Other bone X-ray films too can be hazy due to poor developing procedure, if the person moves slightly while the X-ray film was shot, or if there is improper angle. Sometimes a hairline fracture or a minimal dislocation can be missed. A more precise answer can only be given if there is more information available. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.
Avatar f tn They are diagnosed by a physical examination. Sometimes blood tests, x rays, bone scan, CT and nerve conduction studies can help clinch the diagnosis. Treatment usually depends on the cause and painkillers are given if the pain is severe. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn My little girls has scoliosis which is very mild, she had 3 or 4 X-rays at about 5-6 months and a chest X-ray at 4 years, they say the scoliosis isn't getting worse, better infact, but, I recently read a report saying there is a link with childhood cancer and x-ray and haven't been able to get my mind off it. I have also read reports saying there is no link with low dose X-ray but don't know what to believe now. Am I worrying irrationally.
Avatar f tn Hi, I've been in physical therapy since mid February due to several falls. I also have Posterior Tibial Tendon dys function with some deformity of my left foot. I didn't have any X-rays after the falls but now feel I need them as the pain in my lower spine is severe upon arising and sometimes thru the day. I know I have a herniated disk plus a bulging disk. Have any of you had thisnweakening of the legs, and does it get better after surgery or even an epidural?
566175 tn?1278430472 I am going to the dr. Wed. and i know he will want to do x-rays on my feet for some problems I'm having! Are x-rays harmful to eggs/ovaries when TTC? I will be on CD5 at the time...
Avatar m tn ve just been to the dentist for a regular cleaning and before I could even see the dentist I was brought over to the panoramic x ray where I put my head inside and she took about 3 x rays. then I was brought over to the chair where I had 18 more x rays. then the dentist came over said 2 words to me and then I got a cleaning by the hygienist. Now I'm home and I did some research to find out that dental x rays can be really bad for you and they do it just for the money.
