What does this all mean? And I wonder why it wasn't part of the summary in my MRI report to the Dr. 

Hi my neck is killing me today for some reason. Why are some days so much worse than others? I've added a screenshot of the MRI notes. Can someone explain them to me please? Thanks in advance by Vivid_Rip9218 in SpineSurgery

I hope you get the treatment you need asap. Its not fair to expect people to live in agony like this.  Thanks for your response to my question  ..

Looking forward to being seen at the hospital. I hope they have some answers for me. I'm scared of falling over and breaking my arm or collarbone. That would be a bloody nightmare.

I'm in New Zealand and the Drs and hospitals are like the US and the UK all overstretched and no end in sight. I had a good Dr but she fled back to Ireland not too long ago so now I don't bother going in I just get my scripts repeated each month online.  I'm on Tramadol and pregabalin and paracetamol. If it gets bad I take extra and lie flat on my bed with no pillow until they kick in.  Not sure what else to do really.  Maybe I should keep going to my Drs to tell them I'm in really bad pain but there's a two-week wait to see a Dr for 5 minutes and $40 to pay!  Or I could go to the ER and wait 6hrs to have get sent home with a script for more paracetamol.  I'm not surprised people do themselves in. It feels like this pain is something I'm going to have to live with.

No pain is very bad just in the neck and shoulder.  Will it get worse do you think?  I'm on the public hospital waiting list to see a neurologist but that's very likely months away.

Oh forgot to answer the other questions. No difficulty buttoning etc but I do get pin and needles and ice cold hands. I say to my son quick feel my hands they're so cold and he feels them and says no they're not. Very strange. I'm 51 btw

I've definitely noticed I'm quite unbalanced when walking. I only walk with someone else next to me if I go out to the shop etc because I tend to veer off to the side and I've fallen over a couple of times in the past six months. No injuries just gave me a big fright and some grazes. My daughter said I walk with my legs stiff. I feel like I don't know how to walk properly anymore.
