Hey, take a look at our health pages - they're in the upper right hand corner of this page.

What your MRI shows is a number of lesions in areas that are suggestive of MS.  The 'ring-like' configuration of the lesion in the right external capsule is an indication that this is a old lesion that has gotten new enhancement.

While you're being evaluated for MS, see if they'll do an MRI of your thoracic spine.  The leg burning could be an indication that you have a lesion in the spine.
