MRI Results

[Red262]

Hello everyone,

I've been having continued localised pain which is stabbing and can be debilitating. It seems to get worse when I am bloated or constipated, but also when I walk far. My gnae suspects Deep infiltrating endometriosis, and an ultrasound I had last year found some 'nodules'(?), which led them to send me for an MRI to confirm.

I had my MRI back in December, and have had an appointment scheduled with my gnae clinic for April. Just wondered what your experiences were with MRI results and if anyone has any suggestions on what I should ask. I'm unsure whether to phone and ask for my results before the appointment or not. I don't want to overburden them, but I'm also keen to know what's happening. I'm not so good at hearing news at an appointment, processing it, and still managing to ask all the right questions!

Any advice would be much appreciated! 💕

Hey! I had an MRI back in September and like you was really anxious about results which I had to wait till November for - I tried everything to get them over the phone before the appointment but was essentially told that you have to have the results given to you by a dr as the radiologist report needs interpretation that receptionists are not qualified to give?

I will say that my scan didn't show any deep endo and they told me that that was why they hadn't been in touch earlier, so I would guess your scan was pretty much clear if you've been given such a long wait!

I still think it's worth you calling the clinic and explaining you are feeling really anxious about it and ask if it's possible to bring the appointment forward at all? It should be over the phone and that does seem to mean waiting times are shorter as they are quicker and easier for drs to do!

All the best
