I'm new here so please be patient lol. I've had surgery on my l4 and l5 (fusion) with hardware in 2008. I had it removed in 2010. I had surgery on my l5 s1 in May. I had to have another surgery in August because I had an abscess in my incision. I have had bone spurs in my neck which hadn't bothered me in a few years. But within the last 3 months or so I have had constant pain and numbness in my shoulder blade arm and wrist. I had an mri done and it says: i have mild to moderate DDD at c4 -C7. C4-5. mild posterior disc bulge and osteophytosis measuring 2-3mm and mild spinal stenosis.Canal measures 9mm. moderate right and severe left neural foramnal narrowing. C5-6 mild disc bulge and osteophytosis measuring 2-3mm. canal measures 9-10mm. Moderate right and severe left neural foraminal narrowning. Severe bilateral neural foraminal arrowning. C-6C7 mild disc buldg and osteophytosis 2-3mm. Mild central spinal stenosis. Canal measures 9-10 mm. moderate right and severe left nueral foraminal narrowing.

I have a very good neurosurgeon but I want help in understanding what my mri means. My right side is constantly in pain and numbness and my thumb and part of my arm are constantly "itching". The tingling is getting like pins and needles. I'm getting headaches and have trouble sleeping. I am on 10-325 norco and soma. They're not working well anymore. I hope I wasn't too confusing. Any input would be amazing. Thank you for reading and posting any input. It's a huge help.
