Hi Tracey

Sorry I can't help... I've never heard of this before, but I'm no expert.
The dye injection is called an "arthrogram", this will certainly give
Jessica's surgeon an idea what's going on. Sorry I've not been much help,
but please keep us posted with the outcome.

Good luck and take care
Sara
