| Re: MRI Results, what do they mean?
Yeah, that MRI report is pretty crappy. There is no indication of the degree of central canal or foraminal stenosis. No AP measurements of the canal, and no indication of verified impingement or not. As gmac suggests, seeing a fellowship trained spine specialist (or 2) is a good next step. They should be able to interpret your MRI findings and recommend next steps. Given that PT and injections haven't provided lasting relief over the course of years my guess is that surgery may be the next step. If that is suggested, I'd suggest getting multiple opinions because different surgeons will look at things differently and may also be versed in different surgical techniques as well. You want to make sure you can get the most effective, least invasive surgery that will address your problems.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
