My girlfriend had an mri done on her spinal cord and her doctor told her that she had athritis, she is in studying medicine to become a nurse and she believes that this is the wrong diagnosis and her doctor is sending her for a second opinion day to a neuro sergeon. The doctor did tell her that there were black spots that showed up on her spine in the MRI and I believe that is why he is sending her to the neuro surgeon. Just wondering if there is anyone that has had this results and an answer for this. Any ideas are welcome. Please feel free to leave suggestions if there are any. Thanks guys.
