Can the Neurologist be wrong

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello everyone,

Before I start I want to wish you all a great deal of fortune, health and happiness.

Recently I started having heat and tingling sensations in my right leg and sometimes in my left as well. My right leg quad muscle also hurts. I went to the ER because my left shoulder felt achy and hurt as well and they ran a CT Scan which showed some irregularities. They ordered a MRI and it shoeed one white spot on my brian. The Neurologist said that it is not MS because its not at the place MS leasions are and also it does not look like Ms and its knlynone leasion. I cant shake a bad feeling Im obviously hoping its not MS and I do want to believe what he said. He said that headaces or a severe headace in the past could have caused the leasion. I just cant shake the tingling sensation from my right leg its driving me crazy. Amy extra information would and opinion would be greatly appreciated. He also did a numbness and just on one leg and all bunchof other strenght test and i passed them all. I have been under a lot of stress and anxiety lately and they think thats my cause.

    Hi sorry for the delay I am 29 years old. I saw an MS Specialist at the Mellen Center at Cleveland Clinic. He says I have a very tiny lesion non specific and he does not think its MS but he wants to rule it out 100% and has ordered a spine MRI for me I have it Wednesday. So far goo news. Still woul like to know why my leg burn ls thou my Vitam 12B count was 319 he said thats on the lower notmal end and advised I take vitamin B supplement.

      It is probably just stress.  Even if it is something more serious, at least they caught it at a young age.  Look at it as a blessing in disguise.  I guarantee you will now become an expert on such topics as MS, Lyme, metabolic issues and the list goes on.  Not saying that you have any of these, but before all my issues occured this stuff wasn't even on my radar.  Now I'm pretty much an expert on all these topics.  Not that I was a slouch before, but it has definitely forced me to make some lifestyle changes.

      I was assessed by an MS specialist at the Cleveland Clinic as well.  One thing I do know, their MRI machines, MRI techs, and radiologists are all top notch. 

      Keep us posted.

      Went to the Mellen Center at CC saw a MS Specialist he reviewed my MRI with me and said my spots were timy and non specific he does not suggest or sees any MS symptoms. He order a spine MRI just to be 💯 sure. Praying for good news.

      So you have more than one lesion? I was under the impression you had more. If you can upload some of your images, you can do this from a desktop computer, I would be interesting in see. If you want to see mine all you have to do is click on my profile and review my previous post. Lots of little spots bilaterally.

      I saw a lyme literate doctor recently and based on my symptoms and a positive dna lyme test he says it's 100% late lyme for me. Huge curveball in my life at my age.

      Hang in there, you definitely have age on your side.

    I am currently dagnosed CIS after a numbness in 2015 and mri confirming a ms like  lesion causing this, i have since had a spine MRI come back "normal" but my latest one after a problem a few months before with my legs burning reported as "no significant abnormalities" now does this mean there are abnormalities but not bad enough to treat or that there is no abnormailties ? i find the whole thing confusing and frustrating !

    Well had Spinal Cervical aNd Thoracic Spine MRI and It was Normal. The Neurologist is ruling out MS wit Normal Brain and Spine MRI. Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center is world renowned I will take their word. Bless all of you smile

      That's good news. Best thing to do now,is learn everything you can about nervous system supplements like magnesium, potassium, vitamin b, etc. Hopefully these will eliminate your symptoms. Best of luck.
