MRI result that doctor wants to talk about

hi my husband had this condition for a few month and he was worried if he has MS so he went to get MRI done at private hospital.( he doesnt have any typical MS symptomns tho) 

and the doctor send him a letter( the letter was made 3days after the MRI but receieved a week later),

saying " received the result of your MRI. This showed some signal changes that are likely to be relevant regarding your symptoms. I recommend a follow up appointment either in person or for example via Zoom to discuss the result and the best way forward from here." 

does this sound like some serious issues has been found like MS? or nothing serious but theres ben found something that could be causing his condition? such has hernia and stuff? 

thank you. 

  • After having a private MRI I would say the only way to find out the results is to get in touch with them as at this stage only they will know ,if it were me I would make an appointment asap and get your results that you paid privately for ,I don't think you can really read anything into the fact they want to speak to you face to face this is probably stanndard practice for the hospital .

  • Hello ruuchan and thanks for posting,

    I can understand you asking, but I am afraid I don't know what these signal changes mean or what their significance might be for your husband's health.

    'Not knowing' is inevitably unsettling, but try and keep an open mind for now.

    I hope your husband can arrange a follow up appointment soon and that there is nothing serious going on.

    Wishing you both the best,

    Julia
