One lesion on spinal cord... MS?
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2013 10:32 am
Hi All,
Two back doctors have told me to see a neurologist because to 3 things:
1. a 9mm lesion in spinal cord - C5 in my MRI
2. Hoffmann's reflex - positive
3. Hyperreflexia
From my perspective, I have no bladder or bowl problems but I do have leg and arm pain (was told I have fibromyalgia 2 years ago) and have Hashimoto's (thyroid) which is an autoimmune. I have chronic allergies & asthma, blurred vision, some cognitive issues and some numbness in my feet and face. My question is, don't most people with MS have two or more lesions? If not MS, what else could this be? My ortho said it was not caused my an injury so....
I do have an appt. with a Neurologist in a few weeks but in the mean time I'm stressing out.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
