has anyone had to have a second mri done
I went for an MRI brain scan last week and had to phone for my results today but all I was told was that I have to go to another hospital to have another MRI done, but no explanation as to why. I am really worried now, has anyone else had to have a second MRI done?
Re: has anyone had to have a second mri done
There could be many reason for this. Why not call your doc and ask them as they should have a report from the hospital.

I will do Nicola, thank you

Maybe the scan wasn't clear enough for them?
The doc should have a report though and it will put your mind at ease if he can tell you the reason.

I phoned the consultants secretary today to ask why I needed to have another MRI, she said that there are abnormalities so need to go to Salford Royal Hospital to have another done, oh and she said not to worry, yeah right, she said that to the wrong person lol. but at least its going to be done within the next few weeks, so don't have to long to wait.

Oh I hope it all turns out ok Ann - keep us updated ok.
Can I ask why you had the MRI in the first place?
Re: has anyone had to have a second mri done
I will do Nicola.
I had the MRI done due to constant dizziness, unsteady walking, and headaches.

Well let's hope the second one gives them what they need to make a diagnosis.

I haven't had my second MRI done yet. But I recieved a letter from neurologist it says that one abnormality is a cyst in my brain which I was probably born with the second abnormality looks like a mini stroke, the letter does state that there is no cause for concern or worry, and the second MRI will tell them more. I am getting myself in a bit of state worrying I could have a stroke, can't stop crying now. I do keep trying to say to myself if it was bad they would have me straight back and not wait for an appointment but I am still scared.

Hi Ann - can I ask how old you are?
My dad had a couple of mini strokes and never even knew it!
