Thank you Dr Boster - so appreciate your informative, empowering videos 🔥 🔥 🔥
Glad you like them!
I can’t get a doctor to sit down with me and go over my MRIs with me. I feel things getting weaker in my arms and legs and I can’t find a doctor at the VA that cares enough to take the time and show me where my lesions are. I get a report that says “multiple lesions in the brain or on the spine.” That’s it. Not very informative. Perhaps there’s nothing to be done and I accept that. But it’s not gonna hurt a doctor one darned bit to show me pictures that correlate to my symptoms. Just having that knowledge means a lot to a dedicated medical nerd like me. I’m 41 years a professional patient and knowledge helps me be a better patient. It’s not too much to ask for a doctor to share the knowledge instead of squirreling it away like the secret mystery of the universe. Sheesh!
Well said and truly understood here!!! I myself have gained more knowledge from Dr Boster than allllllllllll my Docs in the past 20 years.
Agree. Not one of my team has shown me, either.
I just know, I have a lesion on my spine.
And a ton of bizarre symptoms.
Always and ever educational. Ty.
Dr Borster many thanks for this very informative video , your calm accurate no nonsense approach helps a lot. I watch your presentations as much as possible and wish with all my heart that I could see you then perhaps I could get the answers I so desperately seek. I know there are many people out there in the same position as myself .. suffering unpleasant symptoms which get worse , slowly but surely taking away quality of life , this condition if left untreated is not nice at all .. I call it SAS MS silent covert but effective in its destructive effects. To keep it short and simple .. I feel rubbish and I know I am getting noticeably worse my general health mobility in particular, I have fallen 5 times in a short period . No one will answer my questions .. you commented that age seems to affect degree of care .. I am 61 I have a great wife and 5 grandchildren in England..I don't have the energy to go see them ..
I have gone on enough ... so thanks again and to everyone out there who is suffering try and stay positive listen to Dr B and good luck
Great information as always! 💕. ya scared the BEJEEPERS out of me with the sound effects 😂😂😂could be the headphones though
Sorry!
I'm so happy this patient doesn't have any new lesions! I hope their health stays stable!
Thanks Dr B for another great video 👏
❤🔥 you help us so much... Please keep going.
Thank you so much for this video! Most of my damage is in my spine, my doctors were amazed that I am not more disabled than I am, but I must say I feel like it catches up to me as the years go by!
I really like how you point out the location of lesions and their associated symptoms.
Fascinating! I wanted to know exactly what's being looked at on the spine scan. It's not obvious on first glance. I find pausing the video when you point the lesions out really helpful for me. It also helps seeing the comparison of old and new. Thanks so much for doing this.
Pure Genius - Dr. Boster, we appreciate your continued service and dedication to making the world a better place and MS not so scary, giving hope.
Wow, thank you
Wonderful choice- this is great imaging and explanations.. #SharingisCaring
Have a great day Doc
Thank you doctor. You have a calm decent manner about you.. Looking at my own MRIs writh my neuro is scary, daunting for me. This insidious disease has defined me.
Hi Dr. Boster, Very Interesting video. You'll recall I just had an MRI in February 2021 and we went over the results on a virtual visit a week later. This was a helpful reminder of what's going on with the lesions on my spine. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. It helps so much in understanding what our doctors are speaking about. Blessings to you!
You are so welcome!
Just discovered I have small lesions in an area in my brain typical in MS patients. Im probaby getting an MRI of my spine because I am having nerve pain and x rays were good. Thank you for taking time to point the lesions of the spine out, I like to be as prepared as possible.
Very enlightening thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it 👍👍 keep us the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
Hello Dr. Boster! Thank you so much for all of your videos! I was hoping to request a video specifically on the difference in brain lesion symptoms and spinal lesion symptoms. There seems to be a lack of good information on spinal MS. Thank you again for all you do!
Thanks for the info. You are a great doctor. I did whole spine mri last week and now with your kind explanatory videos I can better understand the results.
Best of luck!
Good Morning and thank you.
Good morning!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your videos, they are so informative, you have a really good way of explaining, I really hope you teach...thanks you
Glad you like them!
Thanks Dr. B. I love your videos about the brain and spine. Could you do one about neuroplasticity in the brain and spine and what we can expect with respect to creating new neural pathways? Thanks!
Thank you, I’m in the process of evaluating my c spine and they found six bulges , I’m having weakness in my legs , tremors in my hands, I drop things a lot and trouble focusing my eyes sometimes. I review the mri in two weeks with my doc.
My history is a bunch of fusions in my lumbar and shoulder replacements
Hi from Moscow, thanks for you work!
Welcome!
Thanks for explaining, my question is as I am a ms patient since 2010 started out with rrms and now am ppms ,my mris haven't changed since the first one have been on every med for over 10yrs and still getting worse. In a wheelchair now , that's good that the mris give the doctors info but they do nothing for the patients, we know we have ms if we feel better great ,if we get worse and mris show anything, there's still nothing that can be done but get images
Thank you for the video of the cervical spine. Doug coffee in hand from lyndhurst.
You bet!
I'd love to learn more about my MRI! What is a "black hole?"
He has older videos about this😊
@@lw5682 cool! I'll look
This could be my mri!
Accurate. I believe my huge c spine leison is at c4. I think 4×13 mm. And idk if that's the place this person has it at but I definitely have something similar. My toes lose feeling often when im too hot or cold. My first symptom I noticed...
Looks like I have one that is in with the sns so will boost BP if tensioning it and I get AD
Hey! Very informative video. I was wondering in the last bit of the video you pulled up the post contrast where it was clear meaning no active lesions, but on T2 STIR the lesions were still there. I thought that chronic lesions or inactive lesions does not show up on T2 STIR? Am I wrong?
I have a s curve spine and degative disk disease in my neck.
It was interesting to see the 12 month comparison, was the patient receiving regular infusions during this period or some other treatment?
My Neuro looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if we could compare my diagnostic MRIs with my 1 year follow up MRIs. He said he isn’t a radiologist.
🤦♀️
🙄
If a client is unable to tolerate contrast, will the X-ray still be of Value in noting lesions?
Can the lesions disappear like heal themselves over time? Chris Gerard from Duluth Minnesota
Curious, is the dye absolutely necessary to obtain a definite result??
My body does not like the dye.
I have had M.S. Symptom's lifelong, but in the last year I found that what I really have is Upper Cervical or Cranial Cervical Instability. The Instability is at C-1, C-2 the atlas and axis, due to ligament damage. This condition is not widely known by the medical community, which is tragic. But it can be the answer to many people with M.S, Parkinson's,Dementia and literally everything in between. How does this cause these conditions? Because the Atlas and Axis vertebrae can compress , stretch , kink, Nerves , arteries, vein's, the brainstem and spinal cord etc.. Some people have been "Cured" of their M.S. by having these vertebrae brought back into alignment. Internal jugular veins can become compressed and cause Cerebral Spinal Fluid not to drain from the brain correctly and backup and this pressure can effect areas of the brain adversely. This CSF will show up as lesion's around the Parry -Ventricilures (Ventricles) just like many" M.S." M.R.I.s show. Many other medical problem's from depression to Heart problem's to Alzheimers can be caused by this condition. The Vagus nerve's are often impaired also causing many, many serious problem's including Neurological. There are some really great doctors involved in this field including M.D.'s , Neurologists, and Chiropractors. This is not quack science but has been well documented by thousands of medical studies in all facet's of this condition. If you have serious neurological or other medical problem's and have been to numerous doctors with no answers, I strongly suggest you look at Dr. Ross Hauser's video's on CZcams. There are dozen's of great video's on all the aspect's of upper cervical instability. Numerous people have had or now have this condition and dont know it!!!
Can lesions be seen without Gadolinium contrast ?
Can she get better and walk without problem? Plis answer 🙏🏻
When you do a mri do you alway do contrast ?
In 2014 had spine scan &
L4/5 had an issue
2021 had spine scan
Shows perfect spine image
No mention of L4/5
Suffer chronic lower back pain locks up & absolutely debilitating
Back to pain management clinic
But how is the scans different
My symptoms are worse over last 2 yrs
Did have 12 Spinal injections which did not improve my pain or spasm locking of my back
Which is Variable
And full assistance is needed
Any suggestions would be amazing
Thanks in advance
Would this be considered Transverse Myelitis?
mabye you can help me understand better a thing my nerologist has told me about my new and first c spine lison ..... at first both him and the radiologist were unsure it was a lsons and felt it might have been a motion artifact .... the radiologist said subtle heterogeneity on sag t2, sag STIR and axial t2 butno convincing cord abnormality .... what ever that means my nero said its normally motion artifact but there's was not normal vibration lines seen with motion artifact and i did have the episode of neck pain and use of a wlaker for a week wen they found this ...... but what he also said was something about the lsions being in an area not common for ms something about posterior and in the center ...... why would that not be ms he didn't have enough time to go into details about it but eventually after i went to a rhumatolagist and ruled out any other issue he said it was my ms .... this whole prossess has confused me and even watching this video i can see these lison are seen more at the from and on the sides .....what symptoms would someone have if the center /back of the spine is effected and what dose heterogeneity mean
So doctors can't see lesions if we don't get kontast right????
I got a MRI already so do I really need a spinal tap?
Good morning Dr. Boster. I’ve noticed an increase in stiffness for my right hand; specifically one digit. I would love to get an MRI of my hand. I really feel as I age, I’m going to lose mobility of that digit. It gets really bad when there is a storm moving through. How do I bounce this to my general Neuro team?
Before you go to MS- it being one specific digit may indicate arthritis- which can act the same when storms move in- so maybe ask your regular doctor about it first? Just an idea ❤️
I have a u enhanced lesion on spine, 2 new enhanced lesions on brain... what does this mean?
Do you do an MRI with just the brain and not the spine ? My last was with just the brain 🤔
Thanks Dr Boster. How much would it cost me to get the cheapest software to analyze these on my own computer?
I don't know where you live, but in Canada when we request a copy of the imaging, the CD comes with its own copy of the software, so it's very much plug and play.
#funwithbrainlesions keep fightinthe goodfight doc #beercuresMS
Will you do a video on Thoracic spinal lesions at all? The majority of my spinal lesions are on my C-spine, but I have a few on my T-spine as well (5 brain lesions, 15-16 on my spinal cord, been tested for NMO etc twice and it's been ruled as RRMS). Thanks
Hi excuse me did u get a spinal tap as well? My MRI from brain and all the spine show no lesions. Thats what report says. Did they see ur lesions just on mri itself? No spinal tap?
@@laurenvillegas6103 Sorry for the delayed reply. I never got one done, they did think about it, but I am part of a family cluster of MS so they didn't really bother. MRIs will show the lesions, spinal taps are used to look for elevated levels of immunoglobulins which is extremely common in MS but not required for diagnosis. A lesion is a scar (MS means 'multiple scars') on your nervous system and will show up on an MRI if you have them.
Can transverse myelitis progress to MS? MRI of brain and cervical were normal. MRI of thoracic showed lesions.
I have numbness and tingling in both legs and positive Lhermitte’s sign for 3 months now)
Currently on prednisone 60g/day for 2 weeks now.✨✨
I hope you’re able to answer this. ✨
Are these MS spinal lesions the same as disc bulges?
No, they are different
@AaronBosterMD thank you for the clarification. Can MS cause disc bulges?
