Hi, i'm new to the board. I'm a 31 year old stay at home mom. For the past 2 months, I have been experiencing tingling in my arms and legs. It is more intense in my hands and feet and is constantly there. I have been very concerned about the possibility of ms. Neurologist sent me for an mri. He has had the results now for almost a week and has yet to call me and does not return my calls. He is out of the office on fridays, so rather than more waiting all weekend, I went and got my report from the facility that I had my mri.

Impression:

5 mm nonspecific focus of increased t2 signal seen within the brainstem at the junction of the pons and medulla. This does not abut the surface of the brain. Demyelinating disease is not excluded. If there is need for further imaging, mri with contrast and/or diffusion sequence might be of use in assessing for active plaque. Correlation with csf studies might also be of use.


Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this means? Is it ms? I would appreciate anyone's input on this.
