This might sound odd, but during the MRI scan yesterday to my right knee I felt like there was an electrical pulse going from my thigh down to my toes, but I did hear that "warmth" and "tingling" was normal so thought nothing of it. When the MRI was complete I felt quite disorientated, had a headache and felt a bit sick.

Today the sickness / headache has gone but my leg still feels a bit tingly, is this normal ? Also, where I've had weak joints in the past (recently dislocated my index finger) I feel like I've hit my funny bone, but in the joint that was dislocated, again is this normal?

Cheers!

Not tatooed, but glad to hear that I am not the only one with the dizzyness! The guy who went in before me fell asleep so he looked a little worse for wear too laugh

I did have a metal zip on my shorts but they told me it would be ok. Another problem is that my legs are quite hefty around the thigh so it was a bit of a squeeze in the restraint, which might explain why a nerve was either pressed or blood flow restricted.

Thanks again, the strange sensation in my limbs is slowly going, hopefully be gone completely soon!
