Hemangioma and help reading MRI
 
Hello, I'm new here. I've been in so much pain for the past 12 months and pushed from one doctor to another to the point I can't describe the frustration. When I first went to the doctor and described my pain he said, " Congratulations; you have a kidney stone." After weeks of going to specialists, he decided it was a back issue after all. I have my results back and need help reading. When I saw him yesterday he just said I have some tightening going on and when I asked what a hemangioma is he said it is a birthmark. I decided to look elsewhere for help. Here are my results. Please help!
Impression: MRI of Cervical...Cervical spndylosis with central canal stenosis, which is moderate-severe from C4/5 through C6/7 MRI of Thoracic...Mild degenerative changes. minimal bulging at several levels--minimal right-sided disc protursion at T7/8 and left T8/9--mild reversal of the normal lordosis--incitental hemangioma noted at C6 and T9--Several areas say Broad-based posterior ridging produces moderate-severe central canal stenosis with mild ventral cord contouring. Moderate-severe bilateral foraminal narrowing is present. Posterior ridging and suspected left uncinate spur Lumbar area: Impressions Mild degenerative changes in mid and lower lumbar spine mild canal stenosis at L3-4 with mild left foraminal narrowing at L5-S1. Small left posterolateral disc protrusion at L4-5 which abuta and may slightly displace the exiting left L4 nerve root. The reports are long so this is just a summary. What do you think? Can someone help, please?

Go see a spine DR because you have some problems with your back that need to be looked into and you want to see one that know about the T-spine
