Hi Trish, Whining is always allowed around here so no need to apologize. When you are whining for a reason, that is even better.
You mention that you are looking for another neurologist- a second opinion and fresh eyes to look at your MRI's never hurts. you know something is wrong, so don't give up looking for answers.
The unfortunate part of neurologic disorders is most take a long time to diagnosis, especially MS. MS is a dx of exclusion, meaning every other possible disease has to be eliminated from the mix.
come back when you have questions or need more whine.
best, Lulu
i am realy not sure I was sent to the hospital to have them done. i am not sure who read them and gave the report to my nuerologist ,his partner at one time saw me because i could barely walk and sent me to nuerosurgeon for my lumbar issues and i picked the mrs's up on disc at tha ttime and he told me the problems i was having with my legs had nothing to do with my stenosis snd it would not need surgery. so i am at a loss i guess i could cal lthe hospital and find out what kind of mri machin huh? the pain subsodes with the gapentin, but not my legs they are either weak and can barely move them or they feel like they are 80 pounds adn hard to lift then while sitting i get vibrations of some sort and feel like they are swelling to outrageous sizes lol i am sorry for whining but i know my body and something is not right and not to do with my stenosis thank you for listening
Do you know if the MRI's of the spine was done on a 3tMRI? I ask because....and this is ONLY my experience....because mine did not show on a 1.5. The lone lesion on my brain did but not on my spine. Are who read the MRI was it a neuroradiology?
yes i have and he sees nothing and I do apoligize , I posted then I saw a few posts relating to Gapentin. i have had cervical,thoraxic,lumbar and brain mri's the nuerologist told me when i started seeing him in March what ever was going on he feels has been happeong for 6-10 years until last week he never would give me any answers,,,, and now he comes up with stenosis
Have you been given an MRI of your spine?
