lesion in white matter

[teach4665]

A recent MRI showed a "2 mm t2 signal hyperintensity in the right frontal subcortical white matter" and indicated it was nonspecific. I have been having MS like symptoms (weakness on right side of body, especially, and twitches) with what seemed like a flare up in late September.
A previous MRI done 6 years ago reported no abnormalities, so this is lesion is a new finding. My neurologist, however, refuses to look at the previous MRI for comparison and says that there is nothing wrong with me. In fact, he suggested that I was faking the symptoms.
I know you can't diagnose me, but should I consider getting a second opinion? Would a lumbar puncture be appropriate in the situation?

Thanks for the supportive comment. I have just finished the neuropsychological testing. That office has been very supportive! Fingers crossed....

A neurologist suggesting that you're faking your symptoms is preposterous !  He having a medical license, and how he obtained it seems to be more of a question here !!  Of course you should go for a second opinion, and during your second opinion a lumbar puncture might even be suggested by the doctor, it was for me.  That's how I was diagnosed.  Not by the lp alone, but by a slew of tests which indicated MS.  Local doctors didn't know what was wrong with me, and even suggested it was all in my head, but I then went to a larger city with more renowned doctors, and that is where it was recognized.
