numb finger tip
In May I'm due to have a spine MRI. I had a brain MRI which didn't show any lesions... experiencing a numb right hand pointing finger.
I have degenerative changes in my cervical spine with issues to the thoractic and lumbar spine too. My ultrasounds were lost by a hospital about three years...crap
Does negative MRI's mean no MS?
I have all the symptoms yet my brain MRI was clean. My Spine MRI showed 1 buldging disc at C4 & a disc protrusion at C5. No MS evidence. Dr.'s don't think my disc problem is relevant to my symptoms. I am awaiting a nuero consult in Oct. I also have a buldged disc at L5-S1 found a few months ago. I am 31...crap

White dots on brain they say are age related. On C spine (quite a few signals) they say could be fatty marrow or haemangiomas...can they tell difference between these and ms lesions? I have all sorts of symptoms and am really puzzled now. Thankyou so much, Lucicrap
Why multiple MRI's are necessary??
Trying to make sense of what my Neuro expects...since he's not very forthcoming. I was just sent (& had done) my last MRI (brain). He has ordered 3 brain MRI's & one spine MRI. What is he looking for?? Progression??
Also, why is the brain MRI being repeated? If internal lesions are present (external...crap

Disc Degeneration: What Is It?
in early childhood; but, even with a magneticresonanceimage (MRI) which shows the discs very well...). These secondary problems are the reason an aging spine can go from being asymptomatic to having symptoms of pain... studied because this rapid change in the spine is highly likely to cause secondary problems. Recently, a team of researchers...crap
