How will the Test Feel?
There will be a brief sting from the needle and blue dye injected between the toes. There is another brief sting with the injection of the local anesthetic. There may be a feeling of pressure as the contrast medium is injected, and there may be some discomfort behind the knees and in the groin area.
The incisions will be sore for a few days. The blue dye will color the urine and stool for about 48 hours. The skin and possibly the vision will take on a bluish cast temporarily.
