Contrast Allergy and SI joint injection
I have a patient with a true allergy to contrast. I'm planning to perform an SI joint injection for her. What would you guys do:
a) Do injection without contrast and utilize AP / lateral views with fluoro for needle confirmation?
b) Have her undergo pre-treatment for a contrast allergy prior to injection and then perform injection
c) Other
My gut say to just do it without contrast but I am interested in others thoughts/ experiences.
