2014 Pain in the neck,arms,and both shoulders that I can only describe as paralyzing when they occur. These spasms/cramps last about 2-3 minutes sometimes as long as 7 minutes, 2-3 minutes seem like a eternity when all I can do to make it go away is relax and breath easy.

Regarding two different MRI's 7 years apart, so many issues...software changes on the scanners, different radiologists reading, different scanners maybe, your body changes.....it's really hard to draw hard line changes this way, let alone what those changes mean if anything. It's really more about how your most recent MRI correlates with you current problems and exam findings. Comparing it to a 7 year old study doesn't help you so much for your current problems, even if it were a litigated issue! Whether you are seeing an ortho, neurologist or neurosurgeon, you really need to discuss all of this with them and how this all fits into your current clinical profile!
