I get bruised every time I get jabbed somewhere for scans and labs. The bruising takes 2 weeks to go away.

You don't mention where you are getting bruised. I have never gotten bruised from the contrast dye which flows throughout your body after it's injected. Typically any bruising I've experienced was from the IV installation when they stab you and root around trying to hit a vein and get blood flow. If the IV gets moved around too much or gets tugged on because it's not adequately secured that can also cause bruises.

While bruising can occur after a breast MRI, experiences vary from person to person. Some MyBCTeam members report more discomfort with MRI procedures compared to other types of breast imaging, while others find it relatively painless.

While bruising can occur after a breast MRI, experiences vary from person to person. Some MyBCTeam members report more discomfort with MRI procedures compared to other types of breast imaging, while others find it relatively painless.

To help manage any potential discomfort or bruising after the procedure, some members recommend using ice packs. This can help reduce swelling and minimize bruising at the site where contrast dye was injected. During the MRI, you'll lie face down on a table with your breasts positioned through openings. Make sure to inform your healthcare team about any concerns before the procedure, and they can provide specific guidance on what to expect and how to minimize any potential bruising.
