I had an MRI scan yesterday for a lump under my clavicle area that's been causing a lot of pain for about 8 weeks (it's starting to feel less painful now, still sore).
I had an ultrasound at the breast cancer clinic, specialist said he couldn't see a cancerous lump that would be breast cancer, but could be muscular or that I've somehow damaged my ribs.
I was referred to get an X-ray and MRI, the X-ray took about a week to come back and was all clear, I had an MRI yesterday morning and today I have received a letter from the hospital with a confirmation of a telephone appointment with a member of their "allied health professional episode service" next week. A

What is this? Is it related? Should I be worried somethings come back so quickly? I'm in the UK.

AHP are physios, occupational therapists etc. My guess would be physio if they wondered previously if it was muscular.

Also, are you sure the letter wasn't posted before you had the MRI? Round here Royal Mail really aren't managing to deliver anything next day!

@torn2020 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was in a bit of a panic reading the letter, you're right it was written before the scan!!

My new team is.know as allied health I always write brackets (speech and language therapist) for this exact reason. It's a title only those in the filed know. I'd guess it's a joint physio occupational therapy team so they don't commit to who might call you as either could do a case history then they ll send you to the correct person. but ring the admin number on the letter and they can give you some idea. I certainly wouldn't panic they won't be delivering any significant bad news x

@The3Ls thank you! I assume it's to do with the X-ray I had last week!
