Ask your neuro where the AVM might be. It is
probably external to the spine itself; you
could then relax a bit.

Yes, at least one and I think about three. Not
me, however. I don't think anyone did anything
about it. In your case, if it is an AVM, these
symptoms are warning TIA's with a good long term
outlook. Let's see what responses come in before
I dig through my notes.
For more info on AVM's, look at

"Until recently, ... AVMs were virtually impossible
to treat without high risk to the patient. New
diagnostic and surgical advances pioneered at the
Stanford Stroke Center have made it possible to
treat these important causes of stroke and offer
patients the likelihood of a cure."
