I was curious can the ms lesion be on the spinal cord only and not on the brain? I have basically ruled everything else out and I'm just now (hopefully going to get an mri of spine) and was curious does anyone have a lesion on the spinal cord alone and is dx with ms?
I have not got a spinal tap yet but if lesions do come back on the spinal cord I plan to. I currently have a positive romberg sign, balance issues (keep getting pulled to the right) and can not walk a straight line to save my life.
I've had tons of symptoms that point to ms and the docs have been ruling everything out - all my blood tests come back normal for everything.
Can x-rays show anything that is relevant to MS? Just curious. I had an xray yesterday and of course I had damage because of an accident I was in years ago but it still doesn't explain the positive romberg sign and other balance issues.
After removing all the ruled out conditions - only thing that remains is - there has to be a lesion on the spinal cord. I do not believe I have had a mri of the spine only.
I had a neuro tell me several years ago that it looked like my spinal cord was being pulled downward (too straight) based on a cervical mri but he never requested a full mri of my spine. I know part of this could be due to some of my back issues but not the positive romberg sign. Recently, spine doc said no that wasn't the case. I don't know if any of you had a similar experience/result or if it is even related.

Thanks in advance.
