I had a numb spot on my lower left side of my abdomen after a hysterectomy four years ago. This spot has 'grown' to include my entire front of my lower abdomen, lower back, saddle region and upper middle parts of my thighs. My calfs and feet go numb (come and go). I have extreme spastic calfs and my upper body is as weak as my lower. I have all kinds of neurological issues and the docs cannot figure out why. I have spoken with other women who have ms and they too had very similiar stories to mine. My question is, "Can a person have ongoing ms symptoms with numbness beginning in the torso and spreading into the legs without it showing up in an mri?" I have had every test (week at Mayo) and the tests showed only minor abnormalities. The spinal test revealed a very high normal level (66 I think)  (can't remember the name for this) but no extra bands. Any suggestions for where to go next for answers would be greatly appreciated.
