on way
x-rays aren't a big deal
i have had 2 and they were nothing
they just make sure that you don't have any metal on your body, so just be sure to take of any jewelry you have on
i have had my ankle x-rayed {i had a sprain twice in 2 weeks so they wanted to make sure i didn't brake anything}
and my chest x-rayed {to make sure i didn't have pneumonia}
it's not really a big deal and it doesn't hurt
no way!
its an x-ray...not a pap smear, theyll make you take off any metal and take pictures of your body
no. it not painful or dangerous (there is a slight risk on a baby if you are pregnant) but other-wise, don't worry
It's just like getting your picture taken. Nothing to it.
And metal only needs to be removed if it's in the area of interest (bracelet for a wrist x-ray, necklace for cervical spine or chest x-ray, jeans with buttons/zippers for abdominal x-ray, etc.)
I will never do any x-rays. It's a silly modern practise in most every case (there are always exceptions). Doctors today are all hands-off. X-ray, chemotherapy, pills, etc. are all money makers. The more they use them, the more money they make, so why now use x-rays for every little thing? For me, no thanks. Not unless it a real emergency of some sort. No, a broken bone is not what I would say in an emergency...
