Can MS lesions be found in the lumbar spine

[Guest guest]

I have had a difficult time getting a diagnosis because of lack of

lesions in the brain, cervical, and thoracic spine. My regular doctor

said they could do an MRI of the lumbar spine, but my neurologist said

MS lesions don't show up in the lumbar spine. Does anyone know if the

lumbar spine can show lesions?
