Might have torn labrum in shoulder and hip. Chiropractor wants an MRI arthrogram. I was reading bout it and they shove a huge needle into the joint and inject dye. Reading comments on it people say it's pretty awful. I don't do well with procedures like this. Has anyone here had one?
I’d suggest you see an orthopedist before getting it. I don’t think chiros will be as effective at clinically diagnosing those injuries and whether or not an Mra is needed

Missed the part about this advice coming from a chiro. Guess I had assumed it was an ortho. That’s def the place to start.
For me, by labrum is maybe 1/4 to 1/3 torn and its my non-throwing side and I had a baby at the time so I didn't get it fixed.
I don't remember the arthrogram being all that bad..but the shoulder surgeries really sucked and I regret not getting more opinions and/or waiting... Especially with the AC Joint, my shoulder still sucks day to day and I can't come close to throwing the way I used to.

Ha ha. I was going to say the same thing. I really don't understand the use of chiro's for joint problems.
