I recently had a MRI done of my brain, the findings were minor periventricular T2/FLAIR abnormality, what does this mean ? I've had 2 mini strokes in the past and i do suffer with hypertension and heart problems. My heart problems aren't serious but I'm having alot of discomfort in my legs. Please explain to me what may be going on, thank you.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
These are technical terms in radiology -
It indicates a pathology at that site - Vascular infarction, Multiple sclerosis and so on / needs to be correlated with the clinical picture...
Discomfort in legs could also be vascular / or drug induced - like statin, electrolyte imbalance and so on.
It needs examination and/or investigation by the Internist.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
