You have a pain which may be of neurological origin. But, more than the MRI finding, it's a detailed neurological examination which can clearly tell so.
As far as the hemangioma is concerned, based on it's exact location, it's symptoms may range from being completely harmless to a less likely possibility of affecting a nerve in the nearby location.
And many lesions can be hyperintense. So, need the film to comment better.
