Is it possible for MS to progress with a stable MRI? I am experiencing new SX and my usual SX do not seem to go away. It is starting to get on my last nerve. Pun intended.

Dx'd 4/1/11. First symptoms in 2001. Avonex 4/11, Copaxone 5/12, Tecfidera 4/13 Gilenya 4/14-10/14 Currently on no DMT's, Started Aubagio 9/21/15. Back on Avonex 10/15

It is always a possibility that the 'damage' just hasn't been noticed on the MRI yet. Do you know if they are doing layer by layer, or is it just a "quick snapshot" as I like to call it?
You could always have your MRI's reviewed by another radiologist, noting your concerns so that they pay extra attention. They are human beings, after all, and it could be that something was just missed. -
It's definitely possible to experience new symptoms without new lesions. And while sx can sometimes disappear after an attack, it doesn't mean they won't be back (also without new lesions).Originally posted by Waydwnsouth1 View Post
If you're thinking you might have the Primary Progressive form of MS, you'd have to ask your neuro (but the odds are against it)...1st sx 11/26/09; Copaxone from 12/1/11 to 7/13/18

I'm so sorry to hear you're suffering so much. It's apparent how much trouble you're having because you asked essentially the same question only two weeks ago.
To everything the other posters brought up, including that inflammation sometimes doesn't show up on MRI as distinct lesions, I'll add this. MS is also a degenerative process, and early degeneration sometimes doesn't show up on MRI, either.Comment
