My current neuro saw small white matter sub cortical lesions on an MRI from a couple years ago. I am 26, is this normal? And how does he rule out MS if there are lesions? Can lesions heal? Or become invisible on other mri's?
I have sharp stabbing pains in random places that last for seconds, muscle burning in one area at a time, muscle twitches all day and night, vertigo, delayed muscle relaxation especially in neck, ribs, hands and ankles, muscle will feel like it's about to fall asleep even though I am not in a position that would cause it to fall asleep( with pins and needles), occasional skin prickling, very small translucent "target" shaped circle in my left center vision, cheekbone/eyebrow/jaw/behind ear stabs which I believe are called Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Recent EEG cleared epilepsy (which he was concerned about), Visual evoked potentials was normal, all my blood work was normal, and this last MRI in September the neuro did not say if the original hyper intensities were still visible, but he said he didn't believe it was MS. He said for me to read about Ion Channelopathies....
Has anybody been in a situation similar to this? Any input would be appreciated
