I broke my L1 over 17 years ago I was diagnosed with ms 9 years ago no one looked into my back ( I am now ) when I receive an MRI I don't have lesions but a lot of white mass and is it possible the white mass can be my back saying it is getting worse anyone know?? The Drs want me to continue with the ms diagnosis but I'm thinking it's my back sad I can hardly walk sad tia for all answers smile

    Is the white mass bone or other if bone could suggest arthritis other could be scare tissue maybe a biopsy of the white mass might be a step in the right direction
