Hello All,
An MRI of my brain was taken in 2005 after experiencing left side numbness and severe headaches. It showed one lesion. A lumbar puncture showed no elevation in levels.
As of lately, I have been having an extreme problem with balance. I literally cannot walk in a straight line without falling. I have to focus on something ahead that's not moving in order not to fall when walking. I am in physical therapy (which helps) and am advised to use a cain. I am only 34 years old so haven't been able to pick give in to that just yet.
I had a second MRI done in 2009ish for severe headaches and it was fine. They didn't even find the first lacuna that they had mentioned originally. But fast forwarding, I had an MRI this week and it said, "Small prominent right basal ganglia perivascular space versus lacune." Does this mean that the MRI does not support an MS diagnosis? What does this mean?
If so why is my balance worse than a 2 year olds? Why am I exhausted? Why do I have these headaches? Why does my hand feel like it's in a bucket of boiling water? Why can't I connect the dots (thinking issues)...I need help! Why do my hands hurt so badly?
Any thoughts?
