Let's find the source of the pain
What happens during an ultrasound examination
Ultrasound is a safe and painless method of examining parts of the body using high frequency soundwaves, this produces a picture onto a
screen.
There is no real preparation for the examination other then to make sure that the body part to be scanned is easily accessible and not covered by clothing so that it can be easily scanned. You will usually be asked to sit on a chair or examination plinth or asked to lie either face down or face up. In order to get the best quality images you will be asked to hold your limbs in specific positions.
Once you are properly positioned a sheet of tissue paper may be placed over you to protect any clothing from the ultrasound gel. The gel will be applied to your skin and can easily be wiped off at the end of the
examination. This gel is water soluble and will not cause damge to your skin or clothing.
What happens after the scan
The clinician will discuss the findings of the physical examination as well as the the ultasound examination. They will then advice you in regards to the best course of management. This might involve specific physiotherapy exercises or other treatment options such as ultrasound guided injections or further investigations such as X-ray and MRI.
