Hello,
A spinal cord MRI with and without intravenous contrast and with vascular protocol is necessary for a correct diagnosis. Spinal arteriovenous fistula for example may be a possible explanation for these symptoms. Discuss with a neurologist for these issues.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
