MRI results

Hi can anyone help me I had MRI 3 weeks ago on lower back due to severe pain I rang hospital and they said between 6-8weeks now as no one to write them up. Does that mean they've not even been looked at yet so looking at them in 8 weeks the problem could b much worse. Ide b gratefy for any help 

  • Welcome to the forum Dogcrazy although I'm sorry for how long you may to wait for your MRI results.

    Sadly the pandemic has had a huge impact on the NHS over the last couple of years and this may be the reason why it may be taking longer than usual for your results to be looked at although I can't say for sure or answer your other questions.

    All I can advise for now is to keep busy and not read too much in to this if you can. Easier said than done I know but hopefully these tips and advice on how to cope with waiting for news will help keep your mind at bay until you know more.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their support and thoughts to you soon but in the meantime, we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    All the best,
