Ali- I am not sure how a herniated disc can not cause pain. That makes about as much sense as the doc telling me the discs had gone inside of the bones but the bones were never broken...so how did over 50% of the disc magically appear INSIDE of the bone doc?

I think all of my doctors are insane. This is my new opinion. I was tols as far as the Scheurmanns, all they could do was wait until it got worse and then insert screws into the spine to try to straighten it out.

Please keep us informed on any new ideas you get from the second opinion.

Eddie- Brain MRI's are not too bad. The majority of my lesions are in my cervical spine, there are a few in my brain and a few in other areas, at last count there were 37 total that were over 50MM in size. I seem to fit the classic profile for PPMS, no inflammation, IVSM does nothing for me, and my first "flare" neve remitted and it's been 2 years. They did scan my jugular veins at some point but they were normal in size and shape. I don't think I would be a good candidate for CCSVI.
