Not really sure what I'm asking. Just some reassurance I suppose.

A couple of years ago, in 2020 I had vision loss in one eye. Saw an optician who couldn't find anything wrong and the hospital also couldn't find a problem. It subsided a couple of weeks later and I had it about a year later and put it down go just being hay fever in the early spring.

Summer this year I get a very odd pain in my leg which starts feeling like a dull ache and then my who leg being numb and burning. I saw a doctor who referred me for an MRI as he said these 2 things can add up to symptoms of ms.

I had my mri a couple of weeks ago and my doctor called me a few days later and said they found lesions on my brain which can either be nothing or can be the ms we have spoken about.

He said my next steps is he will refer me to a neurologist and lumbar puncture.

My question is has anyone ever had a similar experience with it being ms or not being ms.
Do the lesions on the brain often mean nothing, or is the doctor not trying to scare me?

I know there's quite a lengthy wait for a neurologist but I suppose I'm just looking into things in the mean time as I don't know much about ms.

Just experiences in general
