Ken -

I'd had numerous MRI's of my entire spine and have never seen the comment "signal loss". I don't think this is good. I do have moderate bilateral stenosis at C5/C6 and have had it for at least 4 years. I was advised to have surgery 4 years ago but have been able to manage the symptoms so far. My NS said that stenosis will not go away and that conservative treatment will not help the situation. I have found conservative treatment to be beneficial in managing the symptoms but I also know surgery is coming up soon than later as the symptoms are being more frequent and more severe.

Good luck with your appointment! I know you have to wait until September.
