When Can Sepsis Develop After An MRI Arthrogram?

I had a MRI arthrogram a week and a half ago. Today I am feeling ill. My entire body hurts, my head, my stomach, my chest. I have frequent pain in my shoulder always, but today it felt different. I m concerned its sepsis. How long can that happen after the MRI?

Hi,

How do you confirm that you developed sepsis? Sepsis patients may present have elevated leukocyte counts or depleted/elevated temperature or low platelet with positive serum LDH with hypotension.

Swelling and pain of joint or rash may be present after an arthroscopy. Use cold and warm compression. Use NSAIDs for pain relief.

-You may have pain, redness, or swelling in the area where your injection was given.
-You may have a fever or your joint becomes swollen, warm, or more painful.
-Your joints may feel stiff, or you may have trouble moving your limbs.
-You may have raised yellow spots on the whites of your eyes.
-Your skin becomes swollen, itchy, or feels like it is burning.
-You may have a seizure.
-You may have sudden trouble breathing.

If you develop the above symptoms please consult your treating doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
