Question Some question on Thoracic pain

Can someone help with the lingo, I cant understand most of it. But my main concern I guess is the lesions? I still have neck, arm, chest, shoulder, and actual back pain.

I was wondering if the thoracic lesions mean anything? I have tried to search and couldnt find much.

I cant see a neuro until November and need to help myself, pain meds, hot/cold therapy isnt working and the pain is getting worse any help to understand the MRI and/or suggestions are greatly welcomed.

Is 8mm ap good or bad how big should the canal be? My, pcp didnt seemed concerned and the report I guess is good but I cant get past the pain and don't know why it hurts so bad. I am loosing it! Lol
