> And yes, I too have gadolinium retention in my joint. 3 MRIs. And no, was not told this was a complication... But I'm sure the papers I signed included weasel words to that effect.
The presence of the gadolinium is not a complication. At best, it is an unintended side effect whose clinical significance is not known.
A complication is an unexpected/non-routine, negative outcome. We now have learned that the deposition is something to expect. There is no new information around clinical changes that one can attribute to gadolinium.
