Hi Reksuh and Welcome to Neuro Talk.:hug:

Sorry I can't help you with understanding your MRI report although I would talk to your doctor and have him explain it to you.

I hope you get some answers soon! Sometimes waiting is the hardest part.

Take care and keep us posted

Hi, Reksuh! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!

As far as I know, none of us here is a doctor, we do have a radiologist on board, "Kingrex" who might be able to help you. But your best bet is to meet with your own doctor who has all the facts in your case. Remember that if the results included any matter of urgency, your doctor would certainly have called you in right away.

Feel free to join in anywhere here and we'll see you out on the boards. :)

Hello Reksuh and another welcome to NeuroTalk here. I agree w/Aftermynap, in that I think only your Dr can answer your MRI questions. (but Kingrex may see this and give you some insight too) I am glad that you found us and hope that you'll check out our many forums and join in anywhere.
