Quix and All got my MRI results

uk2
Hi

Just got back form my consulsant and getting my MRI results he said he could not find anything on the MRI except a enlarged blood vessel which he said was probably there all my life and would not cause these problems.

He has refered me to a specialist hospital that he belongs to st georges in London ( i live in the UK)
to have a day of more sensitive testing (was his words!!) of a LP and electrical testing on the nerves and muscles and also ordered a MRI of the pelvis to look at the nerves there.

Quix i wanted to ask what are they looking for with the LP?
What is electrical muscle and nerve testing?

And what could go wrong in the pelvis area to cause such pain and why would that effect other parts of my body? im at a loss and very down.

I was having the best pain day ever as well today and looked great except my limp!! i did try and explain how the pain feels when i am in a flare. He never really says much but once he heard i was on lyrica 375mg to cope with pain and he redone my reflexes and examined me again he decided to order the above tests.

Its good he is looking into other test but its the NHS here so it could be months of waiting again mean while im getting into debt through not working and cant get any help cause im not dx yet!! .

Is it possible to have clear MRIs and still have something wrong with you!!

Hope your well x

Hi there,

My second message to you today,... sorry did not notice this one first.  

Super they did not find any lesions on your brain,... but I am sorry you have not got any further.  Yes guess you are right,... it just takes so long to find anything,... but once you had your second mri, you should have the resulrs within just few days.  

Look after yourlsef now, hope your appointments come through very soon.  
Keep in touch.

That is good news on your scan Uk!  Maybe the electrical testing is the Emg? I hope you dont' have to wait a long time for the other tests.

I can't offer any advice but just wanted to post and give my support.

Take care!
