Gout after contrast die injection.

[Madlegs1]

Does anyone have any experience of side effects from radioactive contrast die injected pre x-ray?

Or heard of such.?

I got gout symptoms within 30 hours of such an injection, and am wondering if it was just a coincidence.

Thanks for reading.💚

Hi there, I have had that several times in the past but it was for my back which is broke in 4 places but I never had anything bad due to the radiation injections or nothing that I would put as down to them. Keep posting whatever you find out about it as I am interested in this subject. Regards Poppy Ann

hi, I have had various images with radiation and other types and always been asked if I ever had a reaction. Luckily I don’t have any reaction to these dyes. It’s not something I’ve heard getting gout so quickly my step daughter has been diagnosed with gout it’s a buildup of Uric acid crystals in the joints so I would say it takes time. It is something you have to manage with help from your doctor. Good luck. Kevin

Thanks. I'm seeing the doctor next week to investigate. Probably need blood test to check for those uric crystals!

Hi I had a reaction to contrast dye with mri scan years ago. Had hives after it and my back was killing me not sure if this will answer your question

Hello Madlegs1,

Sorry to hear you are experiencing what you think may be side effects to your recent x-ray. I can see that you already have an appointment to see your GP next week for investigation. They are likely best placed to help you. I hope you get some answers and the pain you are experiencing reduces soon.
