Confused What to do after MRI?

Hey everyone,
I posted this in another forum also so sorry if this is a repeat and thanks for bearing with me


I had my first MRI done last week and on the same day i called my neuros office to make a follow-up visit to go over the results. They told

me that they usually just make phone calls and give the results over the phone and that they are backed up until September to see her in

person. I thought that a phone call was a little impersonal considering all the stress ive already had waiting for these appts but i love the

office staff and the dr. and i understand shes really backed up. Today i finally got a call back from them about the results and instead of

telling me the results they just said i need to come in within the week to meet with the dr. because the dr will be going out of town in a

week and she wants to see me bfore then. Naturally that scared the ever-livin out of me!


I told her that i want to know whats on the tests before i go in and so she said she'd talk to the doctor about the results and call me

back. She called me back and said that the dr told her to let me know that there is no MS on the scan and that it is not MS and not to

worry, & that she just wanted to do a follow up. Even though that made me feel a lot better, it also made me really weary because why

does she want to see me so quickly and in person if they normally do it on the phone? And if its nothing to worry about why does she have

to make sure to fit me in within the week when normally their backed up by several months?

Does anyone know what else it could be on an MRI that i dont need to "worry" about?

Is there anything that could be on the MRI but isnt linked to MS? For example, i know that people can say that migraines show up on the

mri but is there a way to defintely say that those spots are from a migraine and not MS? Should i really not be worrying right now? lol Sorry

for babbling and sounding like a crazy person im just really anxious. Thanks so much for everyones support
