My MRI results say:

Mild, diffuse degenerative changes seen with spondylosis and diffuse facet degenerative changes. Also changes in the cervical spine.

Says 'demyelinating plaques are grossly stable.

Mild contouring of the ventral aspect of the spinal cord.

All I know is I have almost constant mid back to lower back pain.

Long ago (in my 20's) i reached to cut a flower and locked up and couldn't move without extreme pain.

I had some therapy for muscle spasms and that seemed to help. At the time they also gave me a cortisone injection.

I didn't have any clue of MS at the time and I doubt it is from that. Frankly I think we often have back problems secondary to the MS.

I'm 63; not looking forward to surgery if I can help it but also want to be free of pain and continue walking! I suppose I can't have it both ways but I need to follow up on this (yikes...yet another specialist).
Good luck with your situation.
