What does it mean

[christobelle]

What does it mean when you can't do one/some of the neuro tests?

I had an appointment yesterday as the one month follow up to the last appointment where nothing was seen on brain MRI and so off I was sent.

Since that time my legs have become affected.

Anyway, I could do 2 steps of heel toe walking before he told me to stop before I fell.

My heel feel off my shin when I tried to do that knee to ankle heel shin test.

Touching thumb to each finger rapidly I caned with my left hand and when I tried to do it with my right it was all over the shop.

So I'm being sent for an MRI of the cervical spine on Tuesday.

So what I'm asking is what does it actually mean - when you can't do the tests, or something goes awry, what does that actually mean??

Sorry if it seems really simple but I don't even know what to google. Sheesh I went to put my kids clothes in the washing machine tonight and threw them into the toilet. Not been a great day in that regard!!

Thanks in advance all.

To move forward on whether this is ms, ask for a spine mri and a lumbar puncture.

Hopefully your neuro will also test for other conditions. Neurological symptoms aren't always ms.
