plaque found

Well... I had my MRI's and they found a possible plaque in the pon, does anyone else have this or any knowledge of this. I'm having nerve conduction tests next week but the simple test showed hyper leg reflexes on one side and my skin would ripple on one side of the abdomen when a wheel was run over it,strange, spasticity was found in my legs also so I know how the nerve conduction will turn out. I see a MS specialist in July. A Urologist is going to stick a camera up my winker the size of a PENCIL next week to see what's going on there. I can hardly wait!!
  I now take Lyrica and a narcotic for the pain but it only helps a bit, what else can the group recommend for pain relief.
Oh almost forgot does anyone know a site that shows the brain and spine in detail and information on what does what and why?

thanks Harry

If you go to Google Search and type in "Parts of the Brain," it will bring up all kinds of sites to give you a full look at the brain and all it's structure.

I feel for you, with the "winker camera."  You guys have such a small opening to the urethra that "pencil" size is scary.  Don't worry too much, they use LOTS of K-Y jelly, just as they do with us women.  They may even put on a numbing cream before hand.  It should be no more uncomfortable that a catheter they use to drain the bladder.  Trust me.

Hope you get through all of this.  I know it's a touchy subject, but Harry, we DO care and are concerned for your comfort.  We really do fella.

Big Hugs,
Heather

YIKES - but LOL!!  Sorry, it was the winker part that made me spit the water out of my mouth!!!  I pray you are in good hands, and that you find out what's going on.

Someone else on the board has something going on in the PONS, I just can't remember who.  I'll do a search and see what I can find.

hang in there,
SL
