From what my neurologist has told me, lesions in the brain come and go. The brain can heal itself, and in the past two years, I have seen evidence of this in my MRIs. Apparenly those in the spine are there to stay. I have two in my cervical spine. They are the prime suspects for my near constant tingling in my legs and fingers and the shock sensation in my spine.

Talk to your neuro, if you have one, for a better explanation.

Cheers,
