Many of us who are survivors of MST have serious issues with certain medical exams. I wanted to share a pointer for all who will be needing to have X-Rays done as part of an exam. Most importantly for women.
I hate being exposed, especially my breasts. Be sure that you wear a sports bra to your appointment. If you let your technician know that you are wearing a sports bra that has no metal parts…you won’t have to take it off. No clips, no underwire and no snaps. Just a plain old everyday slip over the head sports bra. If your technician tells you that you must take it off, they are wrong. X-Rays will go right through there. No need to be naked under that flimsy hospital gown.
Be sure that you take a pair of gym shorts with you. Again, be sure that it has no metal parts. They will also allow you to wear those.
It makes a big difference when you are wearing your sports bra and shorts…and it will make you more comfortable. Your comfort is paramount!
Blessings,
Joan
