EMG tomorrow, EEG and brain MRI wed

Is it still possible to have MS with impingement's on cervical thoracic and lunmbar but no spinal lesions? Or it is possible they are all in my brain scan?  I look up stenosis which my family thinks it is (before they thought it was "stress") but I was writhing in pain today in my back have had seizures and fall down the steps etc and my legs like electrically jolt when im lying down to sleep just wondering if people have similar things ad its still MS or what to expect from here.

Hi CC, Good luck with tomorrow's tests.  I know you are having lots of anxious moments trying to figure this all out.  Jensequitur is right that you're still going to be waiting for answers.  I hope you have your follow up doctor appt already scheduled to review your test results.

wishing you well,
Lulu

When you're going through a diagnostic process, it's easy to grasp at straws and ask questions, and very hard to wait.  However, you're just going to have to wait!  Sorry, I know it's difficult.  

To answer the question you already know the answer to, stenosis will not cause seizure-like activity, or electrical jolts in your legs.  They will cause leg weakness.
