Waiting for test results

Hi everyone,

I have been having agonising pain in my knee for around 6 months now, I have had an MRI scan and finally get the results tomorrow. It's been around 7ish weeks since my scan, is this a normal waiting time for results and if it was something serious would I have been contacted sooner? I'm getting so anxious about it. 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I don't think anyone can presume that because they’ve had to wait 7 weeks to get their MRI results that they don’t have anything to worry about. Everything will hopefully be fine but you need your hospital team to confirm this for you.

    Waiting when you are worried is stressful so hopefully you will find out more today. 

    I hope everything turns out to be okay. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things through. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Celene

  • Hi i hope you have had your results now and there good, i had mri 2 weeks ago for my back, they told me 4\6 weeks for results maybe even longer, but i heard in 10 days beacause it had picked up another concern in my body, so fingers crossed no news is good news for you.
