Without all your clinical information, a whole conundrum of problems or diagnoses come to mind. It sounds concerning about all the areas of increased signal and enhancement. This is suggestive of inflammatory and/or infectious or malignancy (like I said before it is hard to say without your whole history). I suggest you get in touch with the Dr. that ordered the MRI and go in for a follow-up visit and further testing.

Why do I get a scar/mark on my forehead when I get a migraine?
Quite candidly, I cannot come up with a likely possibility. I suggest when this happens again take pictures so that would make the description a bit easier. I do not know of scars READ MORE
Quite candidly, I cannot come up with a likely possibility. I suggest when this happens again take pictures so that would make the description a bit easier. I do not know of scars that appear and disappear spontaneously. I as well share the skepticism of freezing something that one does not know what it is. Talk to your Neurologist and if he/she does not know what it is once they see the pictures, then ask for a referral to an appropriate specialist.

This can happen occasionally and is not a major concern. It often lasts a couple of days and goes away to again happen down the road and at different or the same area. It can be associated with high caffeine consumption (try cutting back if it's the case). If it persists for over 1 to 2 weeks, then have your doctor see you and/or see a Neurologist.

Peripheral neuropathy - where are the damaged nerves?
Usually the end fibers of the nerves. They originate in your spine and end at the tips of your fingers and toes. They go from thicker to thinner, and the arteries that supply blood READ MORE
Usually the end fibers of the nerves. They originate in your spine and end at the tips of your fingers and toes. They go from thicker to thinner, and the arteries that supply blood flow do the same. With diabetes, the tiny arteries get damaged and do not supply enough blood flow to the end (Distal) nerves, and they get damaged and cause the symptoms you describe. Other diseases like diabetes cause the same symptoms.
Hope that helps your understanding.

When you have a cold, you can get a viral synovitis, but that is usually limited to weeks and not years. Look into your cervical spine and go from there.
