Question : I have recently been diagnosed with a lesion inside my spinal cord I'm awaiting a call from my dr to see what their going to do about this. Yesterday I awok with my back burning going down my left leg. Today I have to go to a lung dr. Because I have nodules and swollen lympnodes in my ty lung. Could these be related if so what could it be ?
Brief Answer:
The lesion can be benign.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Is the lesion inside the spinal cord or in the bone? Is the lesion compressing the spinal cord? Does it get more visible with contrast? Do you smoke?
If the lesion in the spine is rounded, does not infiltrate surrounding tissues (just compresses them), does not get more visible with contrast, it is most likely a benign lesion. If so, it can not have anything with lungs nodules and lymph nodes. However the pain and back burning are for sure caused by this lesion.
Most likely there will be the need to remove this lump (however its really hard to tell not being able to see the MRI result).
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Ty I tried to upload the images my computer was being slow I had to leave. I don't have the ones with contrast my dr kept them . It's inside the spinal cord And thank you I saw the dr on Monday the burning started yesterday does that make sense?
No I don't smoke
No I don't smoke
Brief Answer:
The pain could appear yesterday, still the lump seems to be the reason.
Detailed Answer:
Yes it does make sense. You never know when such lesion starts to compress the spine. So the pain could appear yesterday. Its nothing surprising.
