Brain lesion with numbness on left side of body from bra strap down

[phoppopp]

I have a patchy increased T2 signal in the periventricular white matter bilterally, with left sided predominance with a confluent area in  the left parietal periventricular and subcortal white matter.  This is suspected as MS.  No other symptoms.  Leg numbness burning pain throughout leg.  Is there a chance that this will heal and could the numbness and burning be coming from this or should I look to other areas such as my hip which feels inflamed.

There's a strong possibility that you have MS with those test results.

Unfortunately neurological damage takes a long time to heal - anywhere from a year to seven years, depending on how much damage there is.  

With your numbness, your leg pain, and your hip pain, it's possible you have a lesion in the spine as well.  I would recommend getting an MRI of the spine - preferably 3T, as it's hard to detect lesions with a lower tesla MRI.
