3 MRI’s usually mean head, neck and back and they’re looking for lesions which may determine if you have Multiple Sclerosis or something else

Hi BarbaraD for me my first symptom of MS was optic neuritis. They did an MRI of my head looking for masses and tumors. That scan was clean except for the lesions on my brain. Next they did an MRI of my spine and found lesions there too. I worked 15 years after I was diagnosed with MS. That was my experience.

Yes it will. The white lesions in your brain are damaged nerves. I had some in the front of my brain and some lesions on the side. Also, the MRI will tell if the lesions are active or stable, but you will feel if they are active.
