Hi there.They did an MRI of my neck recently as they were liking to see if there were any lesions in my spine.

I had it the opposite way round - they found a lesion on my spine and then checked my brain with a second mri afterwards. Lesions can be found in either or both, I’ve been told. Both brain and spine are central nervous system.
