Good evening! On the doctor s excuse says that I will go back to work on November 5th, but since the doctor send me to an specialist I will have an MRI and Electromyography and Nerve Condution Studies on November 10th. Then I will go back to the pain specialist. How can I ask the doctor that gave me the excuse to ask for more time off until I receive the results of the tests. As today i can not walk by my self I have a walker and a kane as a support and somebody to help me when walking long distance. Would you please help me? Thank you!

You haven't written about which part of body is paining lower back or legs. If it is due to low back pain you should get MRI done. If it is in leg you can go for emg ncv studies. As your question is not so specific it's difficult to comment.
