You could be having a Vasodilatory reaction after the MRI and also could be due to some contrast that might have been given during the test. It should not be a problem as long as there is no redness, pain or discoloration of the fingers. Do not worry about it and put it in cool water few times a day and try limb elevation therapy while you are lying down so that your hands remain above the level of your heart. Do feel free to contact me if the problem persists after a week or ten days. Take care, Dr Rishi.
