This is going to sound like an odd question to some I'm sure but what has happened seems odd to me so I'm curious and looking for some opinions of others....
Yesterday I had to have a mammogram done (8 different xrays) plus I had to have xrays done on my hips, lower back and wrist totaling I believe 15 x-rays....Well in addition to being in pain (differnt story) I am bleeding (old blood like at the end of mensies) and have abdominal pain (very mild but noticeable) for some reason...Do any of you know if this is possibly from having all the Xrays done?? Is it some sort of side effect?? I'm also extremely exhausted today for soem reason too but its possible that being in pain after my xrays caused me to not sleep well....
thanks ahead of time

I do know that mammograms are harmless. They give out very little radiation.
I've never had that many different x-rays done at one time though.
Hope all is well for you and I hope the mammogram wasn't too uncomfortable for you.
