I dunno; trauma, to me, can take place in various forms and without total awareness that it's even happening at the time. I don't think that it has to result from, say, an auto. accident; it could also be from childhood "games," sports, whacking one's head against a shelf or even clothing rod in a closet/running into an object, a fall, etc. Trauma can encompass, I think, the type of events that happen but that people may have a tendency to put aside shortly after the initial pain subsides.

Do you mind if I ask: Will the MRI be done with contrast? and why are you thinking about the possiblity of MS? Has a doc brought that up? If so, and just to be thorough for the sake of being thorough, I'd want the contrast/dye.

I truly wouldn't worry myself about it; it's premature and there'll be ample time for that later if it's called for. I just wouldn't torture myself.

I know it's difficult; I've been where you are now. Please, though: Continue to do as you have been and try not to let it consume you. If you have hobbies, immerse yourself.
