Default Please Help With Cervical MRI Results

hi, i posted over on the MS side but it was suggested i post this here also.. i am thinking i was misdaignosed with MS> my brain MRI's came back normal but this was my Cervical MRI:



HISTORY: Multiple sclerosis.

COMPARSION: No relevant prior studies.

TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar, multisequence MR images of the cervical spine were obtained before and after IV gadolinium administration (20 mL Magnevist).

FINDINGS:
There is preservation of the normal cervical lordosis. The vertebral body heights are preserved without traumatic fracture or dislocation.

The spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity without suspicious lesion. The craniocervical junction is within normal limits. No abnormal postgadolinium enhancement is seen.

Mild disc desiccation is present at C3-4. Intervertebral disc space narrowing seen at C5-6.

C2-3: No disc bulge, neural foraminal narrowing or spinal canal stenosis is seen.

C3-4: No disc bulge, neural foraminal narrowing or spinal canal stenosis is seen.

C4-5: Disc osteophyte complex causes mild right and moderate left neuroforaminal narrowing without spinal canal stenosis.

C5-6: Disc osteophyte complex causes moderate left and mild right neural foraminal narrowing. There is moderate spinal canal stenosis with flattening of the spinal cord.

C6-7: No disc bulge, neural foraminal narrowing or spinal canal stenosis is seen. Mild left facet arthrosis present.

C7-T1: No disc bulge, neural foraminal narrowing or spinal canal stenosis is seen.

Paravertebral soft tissues are within normal limits.

IMPRESSION:
1. No suspicious spinal cord lesion is seen.

2. Mild/moderate degenerative change of the cervical spine.

3. Moderate spinal canal stenosis at C5-6.

4. Mild right and moderate left C4-5 and C5-6 neuroforaminal narrowing




can you please tell me what all of this means and would it give me symptoms classic with MS?
