Hi all,

I had a small bowel MRI going on 6 weeks ago now on the NHS, my gp sent me down the 2 week pathway and I have a large mass on my lower right abdomen, pain and my bowels just haven't been right for a while.

First qu... did anyone experience a bizarre reaction to the scan/ drink they had to take or iv drugs given? I spent 2 days in bed with severe pain all the way down my rhs! 

Second qu.... I thought I would be receiving my results within 2 weeks of having my scan (at the longest... and that's even if nothing was found!) I don't want to bother my gp, so have tried going via the secretary of the locum GI consultant who put me forward for the scan to chase the results. I know it has been 'reported' so it has been looked at by a radiologist, but that is all I have been told. The secretary said she would press the consultant to send a letter?

I love the NHS and understand waiting times are extended at the moment, but I'm finding this wait absurd. I am also anxious as I have had results go 'missing' in the past.
