Hello everyone,

I came across this forum about six months ago, but haven't posted in a long time. I suffered a concussion last November playing hockey and had symptoms for quite some time since the injury. I have improved immensely since April, both mentally and physically. My ImPACT tests are all back to normal, and I am symptom-free, even when exerting myself physically.

I got an MRI done in July, just as a precaution because my symptoms persisted so long. While there was no evidence of a bleed, they did find lesions located in different parts of my brain. The amount that I have is slightly high for someone my age, and thus considered abnormal. I have to wait to talk to my neurologist (who hopefully knows more), but just talking to my team doctor, she does not know what the cause of the lesions are. I have heard everything from trauma-induced, to MS, to absolutely harmless. I have to wait a year and have another MRI to see if any changes have occurred.

I was just wondering if anyone else has that has had MRI's done have came across this problem? Does anyone know if they would be caused by my concussion, or was it just a coincidence that I have these? My thought is that they aren't caused from head trauma, because they are not in the same area, but rather distributed in random areas. Apparently there is nothing I can do that would make the lesions better or worse.

Any insights on this would really be appreciated, thanks!
