can mri results change in a 4 month period

[wendyr11]

in october my son lost partial vision in his left eye followed by a headache. He had a mri performed  the day after this happened and it was normal, also ad a lmbar puncture 2 weeks after onset of headache and it was normal. his headache has not went away since he first got it which was October 1st, it is now Feb. 4 also has back and neck pain with it. Was recently put on ms-contin 15 mgs which he is to take 2pills in the morning 2 at noon and 2 at night along with other meds. But he is still in pain ,have not had ct scan and only 1 mri at the beginning can something change in the 4 month period that would show up now on a test that didnt then? he was diganosed with mirganes with auras

Yes he is on medication for migranes they put him on several different ones his current one are doxipen 200mg a day plus cymbalta 30 mgs a dayalong with the ms- conitin. the neroulist that we have been seeing  keeps telling me there is no way the mri can change and doesnt understand why i would want a ct scan. he has had several dilated eye exams performed has been in the hospital 3 times in the last four months also had a lumbar puntcure performed. when i talked to the nero dr yesterday he said the only thing he could think to do was another lumbar puntcure.

Hi,

Yes MRI findings can change over time and 4 months is a long time.

I will help us to know if your son is taking treatment for migraine.

I would suggest you to consider the possibility of getting another MRI done and a complete neurological exam done because from your post it seems his current medications are not working at the moment. It will help to make the diagnosis and prescribe proper treatment.

Hi sorry ur son is going thru so much.I do know that migraines can casue lesions to form on the brain....I also know that diff conditions that r brain related can have changes in that or even a shorter amount of time.It all depends on what the changes r and what caused them.

I have a condition that if I were to fall, or have aninjury to the head or neck it could cause a rapid change to my brain MRI.

I am not a dr and I do not know what exactly u r referring to, but changes can take place.

I pray u can find the cause of his pain.
