Ok, I got a new mri with and without contrast...these are the findings...

cerebellar tonsils extend through the foramen magnum compatible with cerebellar tonsillar ectopia.

no evidence of a syrinx.

no abnormal intramedullary signal intensity is observed to suggest myelomalacia or cord edema.

no abnormal intramedullary enhancement is observed.

no extramedullary enhancement is identified to suggest arachnoiditis or dural inflamation.

no paraspinal muscle edema or abnormal enhancement is identified.

there is no evidence of bone marrow edema or abnormal marrow enhancement.

at c1-2, there is no evidence of subluxation.
at c2-3, vertebral body spondylosis results in mild left neural foramen encroachment.
at c3-4, vertebral body spondylosis results in minimal neural foramen encroachment.
at c4-5, slight disc narrowing is present, a right paracentral disc protrusion abuts the right ventral aspect of the cord.
at c5-6, a right paracentral disc protrusion results in mild flattening of the right ventral aspect of the cord. spondylosis results in minimal neural foramen encroachment at this level.
at c6-7, slight bulging of the disc is observed.
at c7-t1, the disc is unremarkable.

any takers on what is causing my pain??? thanks
