Were you misdiagnosed? Possibly.

You have narrowing and flattening of the spinal cord, stenosis and degenerative change of the spinal cord. Those things listed can cause neurological symptoms.

You might post the spinal MRI information on the spinal disorders and back pain forum and see what people there think.

With no lesions showing on the brain or c-spine MRI and with spine problems being found it looks less like MS and more like a back problem.

briancrotts, welcome to NeuroTalk

Has your vision problems been diagnosed such as Optic Neuritis or something else? Have you seen an Opthamologist about your vision problems?

Your vision problems would not have anything to do with your Cervical Spine MRI.

This could be MS or back problems.
