MRI

[rab123]

HI, I just recieved the results for my MRI but I won't be able to see the Dr for another week, I was wondering if anyone can help me interept it please?
I am 25 yrs old and for the past 2 years have been in pain all over my body, my brain MRI reveals deep white matter hypersentitivites and few prominent virchow-robin spaces. My past medical history includes pain all over by body for 2 years.  I am seeing a rehumatologist for pain and she is the one recommended the MRI of brain.
thanks in the advance to any answers as I am worrying a lot about these results

but I don't have high bp, migraines, diabetes or anyother thing that you mentioned. I rarely get headaches and I am only 25 years and why these white hyperintensites are shown on MRI.
My only problem is pain in my upper body for the past 2 years and some muscle twitching.  The MRI results mentioned considering demylinating conditions, post viral syndrome or someother thing and recommened post contrast studies which I don't know what that is?
any response is appreacited.

Hi,

Thanks for writing in.
White matter changes in the brain can occur in elderly, hypertensives, diabetics, smokers, migraineurs, people with a history of chronic headache, viral encephalitis, stroke, MS and alzheimer’s disease.
Enlarged Virchow robin spaces may be seen without any pathological cause or may indicate a microvascular injury. Microvascular injury is usually seen in patients with dementia or alzheimer’s disease. It is important to correlate these findings with your clinical symptoms.
Take care!
