Most definitely a creepy worry. I am glad that there were no lesions on the scan. Does this still mean that a spinal tap is needed?

I have developed pain in new areas that does not feel like radiculopathy, have had weird bouts of vertigo, and am a natural worrier.

Just reading on it's myriad of symptoms, I can see the overlap b/w spine problems and MS.

Good luck to you.

I am seeing an orthopedic specialist on Monday re: new hip pain (but why intense quad pain?) and lower leg pain on my "good" side.

If anyone is in LA, do not get MRIs, etc. at Cedar-Sinai/Mark Taper but rather, at Mink Radiolology. Cedars's w/accept insurance but their prices are sky-high.

See, cognitive impairment.
