Mri how long should I wait

I've been very ill over Christmas and spent the whole time in hospital having tests. I have a problem which the doctor could see on the cat scan but they needed a better more detailed image so I had a mri on the 27 December. They know it's not cancer so not urgent. However I'm still in a lot of pain and I'm unable to work which is making life hard. I still don't have any results should I ring the department I was in at the hospital and ask if theres any news or am I being silly and should wait to be contacted

Have you looked on your NHS app?

Ring the secretary of the doctor who ordered the scan.

yup you need to get in contact. You should have the results within a much shorter time frame

Ring the secretary of the doctor who ordered the scan.

Because it was done as an emergency I dont know who the doctor is but I can ring the reception of the department I was in. I rang my doctors 2 weeks ago and they dont have the results.
