Hello Kinaydein grrl,

I am wondering how MS flares start?
Multiple Sclerosis is different for each person as is exacerbations (relapse, attack, flare-up). If you ask 100 people that question you will get 100 completely different answers.
To add even more difficulty into trying to answer that question -- each exacerbation a person has can present very different from the previous ones.
The MRI of the L-spine would be looking for back problems that might account for your symptoms. I hope all goes well and you receive answers soon.
