Dear Medical Doctor,
Sorry for posting my question in this forum, but I would like a neurologist to look at my MRI pictures.
I’m 23 years old. Three months ago, an MRI ( see my pictures: Dark-Fluid, T2 and T1 with contrast: http://s3.amazonaws.com/medhelp_images/posts/5397109_fs?1266756128 ) of my upper torso and head was done for an unrelated issue (persistent flank pain on the left side). The results came back negative, just a little scoliosis and IBS the doctor said. But he did find something else. He asked me if I had been in an accident, I said no. I said I was born 5 weeks too early, this explained to him what he saw. He said I had something which looked like a hemorrhage or calcification in the left frontal lobe. Nothing to worry about…
Now, three months later, I have pain (feels a bit like muscle pain) behind my left eye since 4 weeks. Yesterday I went to an optometrist. He looked into the eye with an ophthalmoscope, nothing interesting to see which could explain the pain. But my left ear also hurts a bit since 2,5 weeks (just a little bit at times, like there is air trapped or it starts to get infected, doesn’t get worse or better, it’s still there). I also had a bad headache and nausea about 2,5 weeks ago (it might be a cold combined with the ear pain symptom). Nonetheless, a week ago I started thinking back to the MRI and what the doctor told me about my head. I really started to get worried. How can he be so sure? Could it be the contrast didn’t get to my brain?
So since a week I’m worried and I have no idea what to do. Three out of the past five nights I woke up too early with my right hand feeling numb (pins and needles). After 2 minutes of movement it was gone. I sometimes feel a little bit of sharp pain on the left side of my forehead. Is it all because I’m worried, but there is no reason whatsoever to be worried about?
What do you see in the MRI pictures of my head I posted in the above link?
Thank you so much in advance.
Robert
