need some advice

[Udaysk]

I am a 25y old male, Asian. I was dx'd with urinary retention about a year back and need to cath 4 times a day to empty my bladder. After about 6 months noticed sensory changes in sexual function, then two months later faced constipation. I have recently started to feel my left leg toes fan out whenever I lift up my feet + tremor in the shin/tibial muscle, can still heel walk though. Both my arms and legs are hyper reflexive 2+ symmetrically. Sometimes I get mild spasms in both my hands (simultaneously), pain behind both eyes on and off without any visual disturbances. I have no cognitive and gait problems.

I have undergone plain T1 and T2W FLAIR MRI of brain and spine at 1.5T multiple times and 3T plain sagittal screening of spine once with no detectable lesions. Had nerve conduction test done for PNS, CSF checked for various common pathogens/STD -all negative. My neurologist says that I don't show any clinical signs of MS as I don't have any upper motor problems and suggests that I undergo neuromodulation/LDDM to correct urine retention and protect kidneys.

I plan to approach a different neuro again. Would Gd contrast make a diff. at 3T for MS lesion visibility? Is it possible to have gross neurological deficts due to MS/infections without showing any lesions on MRI?

I don't know why Margaretx thought "BobbHilton" was a "poseur."  He didn't strike me as a medical fraud at all, but genuinely knowledgeable instead.  He also had stated that English was not his first language-hence, the spelling errors.   This forum should be grateful that there is a retired neurologist who is willing to take a couple hours of his time each day to answer questions and share his knowledge for free (as I assume the CCF doctor also does) when he could be out playing golf-or whatever retired neurologists like to do.  And he is actually, humble, too.  That's a bonus (considering what most neurologists are :)).

Your typos are from MS? That's interesting, because on a previous post, you indicated that you do NOT have MS. You need to be a little more careful about cultivating your fake internet idenity a bit more carefully, don't you think?

Talk about heartless.

I have always said that I have MULTIPLE LESIONS IN MY BRAIN AND SPINE BUT THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS LYME OR MS...BUT THAT I HAVE ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS.

THERE IS NOTHING FAKE ABOUT ME.

GET A LIFE.

AND--I HAVE HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE ON HERE, JUST ASK THEM.

FOOL!

Any spelling mistakes on my end are due to finger slips and other problems from M.S.

Margaret,
   Your personal attacks are absurd and disgusting. Some of us are medical students, some of us are simply educated because of our own disease and some us just know our STUFF. E.G. I know a dentist, two retired docs, and a few more professionals/students on here-who care. There is nothing absurd about my post.
    Your post offers this person no help. Your comments are totally unkind-and-please, English teacher, where are the mispells? Your in need of help.
