MRI of head normal - Sinus issue???
by ShakinThingzUp, Apr 18, 2008 09:53AM
While I am waiting for all my stretched out specialists appointments & testing (physiologist pain management + leg EMG + Neurologist + Neurosurgeon to review MRI), I am enduring a lot of pain....... especially at night.
I have left side pain & numbness from my head to my toes (numbness comes and goes, pain is constant).
I am also dealing with dizziness, vertigo & sinus/allergy trouble that comes & goes.
My question is related to the head problems --- due to repetitive sinus infections, bad vertigo, etc. I have been under the presumption that a lot of my head problems are due to a "deep" sinus problem, for which I need to see an ENT. However, my neuro problems are so much worse, that I have neglected this issue...
What I am wondering is, when they did an MRI (without contrast) of my head (which was normal) - would they have been able to see deep sinus problems on that?? Since it was "normal" should I be wondering if this pain in my head/pressure is caused by something else (migraine?) or could I still have the perceived sinus troubles....
My vertigo stays with me...... and a few months ago was bad enough during a sinus infection to cause me to pass out briefly at work and be taken to the ER... It's pretty bad... I just thought something from my sinuses would show on the MRI... ?????
