I have been told by my doctors that lumbar MRIs are not used to diagnose multiple sclerosis. Can you give me information on this? I am in the process of having a wrkup based on brain MRI results. I have had a lumbar puncture, neuro-opthomological appointment, a thoracic and cervical MRI and will have visual evoked potential this week.
I get results on Thursday. I just read in these forums that lumbar, thoracic and cervical MRIs are all used to diagnose. This contradicts what I have been told. Since I have had big problems with my lower back, I would like any additional info you can provide.
Thanks very much.
