Burning sensation after MRI

[Piggers]

I haven't had an MRI in a few years but it never felt hot before today got very warm will running. I have a linx implant and I have a burning sensation in my chest and back. Is this my imagination or could the MRI cause burns?

I could b the contrast dye You may be allergic to it. The way I found out I was allergic to it my arm swell up and it was burning for several weeks. Now I don’t get it at all. My aunt had a reaction and affected her liver

I didn't get any contrast this time. I have had contrast before had a burning sensation in my face. But went away quickly. Thanks

Why did you have an iv then? Or am I misunderstanding.

A linx implant is for acid reflux it's a ring of magnets around the esophagus by the stomach

Has there been a reaction to the magnetic implant, with the mri using magnets? Maybe you should check with your doctor, Blessings Jimeka 🦋

I know sounds like it shouldn't be safe but everyone (my doctors) say it's safe . I'm one of those people who have strange symptoms. Most of the time drs look at me like I'm nuts. So I have to fight, I get tired. Should I talk to the doctor that did thei mplant or primary care?

[jimeka in reply to Piggers]

I would try the one who did the implant.

As many of you know I have had a pain pump for over seven years. When I do an MRI I have to call my pain specialist and setup to go by afterwards to check operations on pump? I have had over ten MRI’s thru seven years and it’s been great 👍. I guess there is a really small chance it will shut off pump? All of the pain or baclofen pumps are setup to restart themselves after 30 minutes 👌👍. So yes two different pain specialist and six different MRI places and all recommend having pumps checked out afterwards 👍. As far as any burns or heat during MRI I have never had that symptoms in twenty three years 👍. I think any side effects should be reported right away! Hope this helps. 🙏🐾😉 Ken 🎃

So had tried the surgeon for 2 days . Talked to his office today again finally was told I'd have to come in Monday before he could do anything. Or I could go to ER if I felt uneasy even gave me his cellphone number to have er call him. So bloodwork, x-rays and a radiologist who went home and wasn't coming back to do a barium swallow. Several lectures about how MRIs can't cause burns, so must have killed the magnets in my linx and it's my acid reflux again. I don't remember it ever feeling like this. So totally wasted trip. I'm never going to a ER again. The difference between the way I get treated and anyone I've taken drives me nuts , I'm just not whiny enough. Thanks for letting me vent.

Last year when I went in for an MRI and the nurse told me I'd have to change my pants! I didn't think they were Yoga pants, just stretchy pants. The nurse explained the MRI could set them on fire! That gives a whole new meaning to "hot pants". Anyway. maybe the fabrics you were wearing during your MRI has something to do with the burning sensation you had?
