Sent for MRI

Hi all
I have psa
I saw a new rheumatologist a few weeks ago , he sent me for an X-ray but gave me no meds . He said he would review in 4 months and if I still had a stiff back he would do an MRI.
However I've been sent through an MRI appointment I wasn't expecting .
I am really worried now , does this likely mean my X-ray was really bad ?
I am on no meds and my gp surgery have no clue .
Thanks

I have had a number of MRIs (I have PsA and OA) and, as I understand things, they give a much clearer image of what is going on thus giving my consultants more information about my conditions. I think this is what your new rheumatologist wants to discover, he wants the latest data on how you are being affected and that can only be a good thing.
I recognise your name but cannot for the life of me recall why you are not taking any medication: I apologise. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
The key, for me, would be that you are on no meds. Was this your rheumatologist's decision? I think they are just ensuring no consequent damage has been done and, if it has, you can be on meds asap.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
