CT scan

Hi. Maybe this is something you could bring up saying the area is still not fully healed and you feel uncomfortable lifting your arm. I am sure they will work something out perhaps? 

I will try my best, just want to get all these tests over with asap so I can move forward.  I hope they don't cancel because I can't move my arm high enough x

I feel and hear you. Lots of new experiences make us pretty cautious and wary, naturally you would not want to get any infection or make things worse for yourself. I can imagine it's tight and uncomfy. Just know you're doing your best, and I am sure with time you will be able to, just now it's too soon after op ...sure you're not the first, nor will you be the last ...((big hugs girly!))

My dad's had CT scans for his lymphoma and can't raise his hands above his head. It's not ideal but they manage nevertheless 

That's good to know.  I just want iit done and out of the way.  Thanks x

I had one the other day,arms were above head but bent at elbows,in a relaxed position.

I have 3 monthly CT Scans. I have to raise my arms so that I am clasping my hands above my head. This gives them access to the cannula they insert in my arm before the scan (to inject a contrast dye). The structure of the bed base and the scanner help my arms to stay in place. I've got a creaky shoulder and find it difficult, but it is over in a few minutes. And they always help me on and off the bed base.
I spend more time at the 10-15 min wait post scan checking there is no adverse reaction to the dye, than all of the cannula insert and scan time put together.
