MRI on my hand on Thursday

[Guest guest]

I'm scheduled for an MRI on my right hand Thursday. I have one

problem. I can't get my wedding ring off my left hand. Is this going

to cause a problem? You aren't supposed to have any metal for an MRI.

I really don't want to have to have it cut off. (It has been there 42

years!)

You might go to a jeweler to see if they have any ideas for getting it off. Also call the doctor's office to see if it has to be removed before you go in for the MRI. You might be better off to have the jeweler cut it off if it has to be removed. God bless.
