How To Cure Pain In Arm Due To MRI Performed Using Gadolinium?

Hello, I recently had an mri performed using gadolinium and experienced severe pain during the administration of the contrast. The following day I started feeling pain in my wrist which soon started going up my arm. It is now 4 days after the pain began and I'm still experiencing pain up my arm. I'm worried. My doctor told me that it is phlebitis and well as infiltration into my tissues from the contrast. He said it should feel better by now and am planning on seeing him tomorrow but am terribly worried. What is happening? Will this pain go away?
