@irr4et I’m not a neurologist but here is what I think could happen. The MRI could show something. That’s why physicians order scans.

When the neurologist does a physical exam in the office they are evaluating your nervous system. Your symptoms that you described here and what you describe to the neurologist, as well as the physical exam that the neurologist does will help answer questions about what parts of the nervous system could be involved with your symptoms. The brain is so very complicated and the thalamus and its pathways are only one piece of a puzzle.

Does that help answer your question?
