Hello,
Im a 22yr male. once very athletic in my prior days before i decided to join the military. Anyways, everytime I get seen I feel like im getting blown off and told everything is okay. Im no hypercondriac, but i do require answers. Especially after this past episode which led me to my first ride in an ambulance and IV and heavy meds to make the pain go away.
So ive tried searching all over google trying to find someone with similar questions or answers for this MRI. Anyways, Ill just start off with the last episode and a few symptoms here.
To keep a long story very short and sweet.
I got off work, was standing talking on the phone with a friend in my bedroom. Got some very weird sensations in body. started with a "shockwave" of pain through body almost made me sick to my stomach and happened very fast and went away. seconds later happens again. I get cold feeling underneath left lower ribcage, lose sensation in my mid back. that sensation shot up my neck to the center top of head. By the time paramedics arrived at my house I had a loss of sensation in my arms and legs(knee and below) as well. Took me to hospital shot me up with heavy pain meds and antiinflammatories and said it was a back spasm and sent me home.
Follow up with a doc on base. Ordered Brain/Thoracic spine MRIs to check for MS and something else not sure. I received the brain MRIs only so far and here is how it reads. I have the disc with images if anyone would like to see.
just looking for input, i have no family history of any illness, no allergies, ive been healthy all my life and pretty athletic.
here is the MRI "FINDINGS":
" There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage or infarction.
On the FLAIR and T2 weighted images, there is a single, tiny, punctate, mildly hyperintense 2mm focus of increased signal at the right frontal deep white matter (axial image 14). There is no appreciable mass effect or enhancement associated with this focus. The remainder of the brain, cerebellum, and brainstem are unremarkable. No abnormal enhancement. The ventricular and extraaxial spaces are unremarkable. Flow voids within the major intracranial arteries are grossly unremarkable. Orbits and globes are unremarkable. The sinuses and nasopharynx and mastoid air cells are clear. "
anyone got anything? ill be seeing my doc Monday
I just like multiple opinions
Thanx
