How likely is lumbosacral radiculopathy at the onset of ms? (no issues detected after spine mri with no contrast)
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Radiculopathy: Unlikely to be anything to worry about but please set up an appointment with the doctor that ordered this study and have him/her give you all the details of the study in a manner you will understand.

Not as likely: as slightly mis-stating the type of pain. MS can have lesions at any spot and they show up eventually but usually not right at the start of symptoms (BUT the spinal fluid often has characteristic inflammatory findings of broken spinal stuff--myelin basic protein). BUT, a classic finding is pain along the spine http://www.healthline.com/health/multiple-sclerosis/lhermittes-sign#Causes3
