Thanks a lot....my problem is that this is the first MRI in 10+ years and I therefore do't have a good point of reference.Tomorrow I will forward the report to Dr. Kerr and to the group. From the report it is hard for me to decipher if there is new damage or it is just rsidual damage from 10 years ago that might hav showed up if another MRI was taken weeks or months after the MRI that showed the lesion. To be continued tomorrow. Thanks again! Rob in New Jersey

It just tells what parts of the body are affected. I think it also depends on how much initial damage is done by the inflammation as to how you are affected by the residual effects. My lesion was at T8 - T10. I am one of the walking wounded. Usually walk unaided in house but use cane if I am tired or under the weather. Use cane or walker outside of home. Wheelchair once in a while.
