Would the problems I am having with balance and pain/tingling along with loss of sensation and strength in my right side be caused by the brain lesions?
My mind has drawn a complete blank plus you know how it is when a drs. office calls and you're trying to keep up with what they're saying you forget to ask questions. lol
I'd appreciate any input on this.

As I understand it, Lesions only show up on the brain, C-spine and T-spine. The L-spine does not have the cord in it so you won't see lesions there. Just what I've been told. I'd guess they did the L-spine to see if you had something going on there to explain your sx? EDIT: I had the L-spine too, and it does not explain my sx....but I do have issues that are being addressed there....FWIW
