You hit the nail (or pin) on the head! Confused...Our bodies get confused too. Just because there are no lesions doesn't mean you are not haveing nerve damage in those areas...There are things about our bodies we just don't know.

Hope all goes well at your visit.

I would be honest and say...I am confused do you know why my body is acting this way? Doc could tell you or say he doesn't know?

Oh I so know what u r going throught. I am having bad muscle spasums in my back along each side of my spine. I 2 have had an MRI that shows no lesions in the spine. I was just at the doctors and he said their still might be small lesions that r just not showing up on the MRI, he suggests taking new MRI's this time at a magnified view. I don't think i want 2 take another set of MRI's seeing how I just had them done this past Jan. I am taking bacolfen and it does work 4 me. I am getiing PT twice a week and the third day the PT gives me a massage and 4 me think this is working....
