MedHelp Member's Question

cervical spine and lesions..

Tags: spine, lesions, cervical spine, ms

Just a quick question. I had all of the MRI's of my entire spine except my cervical which I will have this Friday. Just a curious question, is it possible to have lesions on this part of your spine and not your brain? Or are they almost always on the brain first? Just wondering. So far, I'm cleared with no lesions and they think my problems are other things, however, he's wanting to do a follow-up with me in 6 months because he said he's still not willing to rule out MS yet. Just wondering about the cervical spine.

Thanks,
Shelley : )

Yes, you can have lesions on your cervical spine and not your brain.

I'm glad that your neuro is still looking for answers for you!!

Good luck on Friday and let us know how it went!!

Take care, Pat :)
