Question : what do you do to diagnose MS? I been told this could be it, but I am stubborn.
Brief Answer:
Clinical and MRI
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com. I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist here to answer your query.
MS is diagnosed with the help of clinical history, physical signs and MRI findings in brain and spinal cord.
Typically, relapsing focal neurological deficits in presence of recurring demyelinating lesions on MRI gives suggestion of MS.
Please share your clinical history, so that I can guide you further.
