How long does it take for doctor to get results? I am on pins and needles for results. Would it be out of turn to ask? My appointment is April 14.
Doctor kept asking if steroid shots in back helped my pain. I basically said no as there was minimal help. Does this rule out MS?

Hi,
I don't know if your doctor has a strict standard that they will not discuss results until your next appt.. If they do you can call and ask the office to send you a copy of your results to your home. I do it all the time. I like to keep copies of everything.
If your doctor does not have that rule, call and politely ask for the results from the nurse or ask to have the doctor call you back. Just ask if the results came in first. Tell them how worried you r and you don't want to have to be worrying until your next appt..
Good luck
