No, not at all. I mean with the lesions and the cervial herniations and the possible diagnosis of MS, that you can't rule out the possibility of MS just because the Dr. takes care of the herniations. Weren't the lesions in the brain? It's just that a lot people with MS tend to have the back and neck problems also and it is difficult to tell which one was there first. Sometimes the MS is discovered before the back or neck problem crops up and sometimes the back or neck problem leads the to the MS diagnosis. Whoa, I'm confusing myself!
