    Pain X-ray
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around concerns regarding radiation exposure from an X-ray procedure. A user, Dirk Jacques Gielen, inquires about pain experienced in the chest after an X-ray, questioning if it could be linked to high radiation doses. Dr. Gregory Greenman, a physicist, emphasizes that significant radiation doses can be harmful, potentially affecting the nervous system. However, another participant suggests that the pain may be due to a muscle strain rather than radiation exposure and advises consulting a medical professional for a proper diagnosis, reiterating that online forums are not suitable for medical diagnoses.

Absolute,

It all depends on how big the dose is. A big enough radiation dose takes out the nervous system
and you die almost immediately.

Dear Dr. Greenman,

I have a question wherefor I do not find the way how to post it on the forum.
It is related to radioactivity;:

I had to lett taken a X-ray from my longs.
When the machine made a grumpy noise, the picture got taken, but at that instant suddenly the whole side of my chest was sor(the chestside face-ing the positioned was suddenly in pain). I wonder now, few years later, what caused the pain, and if the reason could have bin a high dose of radiation? It has hurd perhaps couple of days.

Sicerely yours to help me find the legal answer to this hospital question. I am from Belgium,
and my name is Dirk Jacques Gielen.(Not Dirk Gielen)

Sounds like you pulled a muscle. What position were you in for the X-ray?
