So it's been since 2010 when I've been having different symptoms and refusing to see docs and just fighting through whatever comes at me(denial maybe), Now I'm like ok maybe I need to seek help before something really goes wrong.*
Symptoms:
When it's warm I get the foot drop on right side like I'm kicking my leg out.
Pins, needles right foot leg thigh groin, noticed in my hands at times. Nerve pains
Fatigue for no reason*
Headaches at times*
Floaters in left eye and if backgrounds are bright it can be hard to see the details of what I'm looking at.
UTI's along with kidney stones 7 since 2010, bladder control at times.
During my last visit with the doc for my 7th kidney stone i told them of the issues im having so the order a bunch of blood test and MRI. Blood tests come back all negative for whatever they did it was like six different ones i think, however because of MRI findings i now have a Neurologist appotment not till Feb 9th though. I'm in the Navy too so seeing docs is sometimes a hassle or they are just way busy
I’m just wondering what to expect and what my MRI report may mean, my sister which is 2 years younger has been DX with MS?? Bellow is my MRI report Thanks ahead of time and thank you for reading
Findings: No true diffusion restriction identified to suggest an acute stroke. GRE sequences are negative for prior hemorrhage. No ventriculomegaly, mass midline shift or mass effect. No abnormal extra-axial fluid collection.
Multiple white matter lesions are identified: upper convexity, left greater than right juxtacortical as well as one in image 5 that appears to involve the subcortical u fibers, multiple T2 FLAIR signal white matter lesions involves the callosal septal margin, largest involving the right posterior ventricular horn and extending from the left frontal horn (measuring 12mm in transverse x 5mm in AP and 17mm in the AP x 7mm in transverse respectively), extension along the genu of the corpus callosum best demonstrated in image 12 series 601, image 11 series 701 and image 15 series 701a, single focus is suggested at the genu of the right internal capsule, right and left cerebellum centrally, 4mm white matter lesion within the left pons medially, and two foci one within the medulla oblongata and the second at the cervical medullary junction, right pontis brachim, lastly a possible 5mm white matter lesion subadjacent to the fourth ventricle within the posterior pons. Additional white matter lesions are present however the temporal lobes, deep grey nuclei as well as visualized portions of the optic nerve are preserved. None of these white matter lesions demonstrate diffusion restriction or enhancement to suggest active demyelinating process.
The visualized paranasal sinuses, soft tissues, mastoid air cells and nasopharynx are unremarkable. The pituitary, optic chiasm and tectal plate are normal. The clivus and visualized soft tissues and are normal. Expected flow voids are present. The dural venous sinuses are patent.
Impression: Numerous white matter lesions involving the callosal septal margin, right internal capsule, cerebellum, and brainstem without active demyelination are quite suggestive of a demyelinating process such as multiple sclerosis. correlation with laboratory parameters is warranted and recommend neurologist consultation.
