MRI small bowel (checking progress)

Hey I haven’t been on here for a while as things did calm down for me for a while. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in the small bowel just over a year ago and currently on adalimumab after aza failed to help me.

I had an MRI 4 weeks ago to check on progress as I also have a stricture. I’m not sure if I’m looking to much into this but when I rang for results the secretary said she will contact my consultant to arrange an appointment with me to talk about next steps. I really hope that doesn’t mean a new medication or surgery. If I was in remission wouldn't I just get told this in a letter or a quick phone call?

I’m slightly panicking now as I’ve been loads better since being on adalimumab but I have the odd bad days and wondering if anyone has been on medication that seems to be helping but MRI shows a different story?

I think I’m just anxious as last year was a terrible year for me health wise and the thought that my stricture or inflammation being active still is worrying me.
