Default Please help with results of my MRI's and EMG

Hello, if someone can please explain these results to me without all the big words.
I was in a car wreck in 1996 this broke my C4-C6 and I was placed in a Halo, I removed the Halo myself after 2wks(big big mistake) My C4-C6 actually fused together wrong and there's nothing anyone can do surgically. I'm 41 and in severs pain daily from my head to my toes.
C2-C3 Demonstrates a small posterior disc protrusion with mild central stenosis.
C3-C4 Demonstrates posterior disc osteophyte complex causing moderate impingement. Unconvertabral degeneration results in mild foraminal narrowing.
C4-C5 There is posterior disc osteophyte complex causing moderate stenosis. There is moderate to severe bilateral foraminal narrowinh due to unconvertabral and facet degeneration.
C5-C6 Demostrates mild disc degeneration change but no significate stenosis.
C6-C7 Demostrates posterior disc osteophyte complex causing mild central stenosis and foraminal narrowing.
C7-T1 Demostrates mild left foraminal narrowing and mild posterolateral spinal stenosis on the left due to facet degeneration.

On sagittal view, degenerated disc with disc space lost is seen at T11-T12 Generalized bulge is present effacinh the anterior subaracnoid space and appear to abut the cord but not causing cord impingement. There is overall mild central stenosis.
L1-L2 normal
L2-L3 Mild facet degeneration is seen, minium bulg is present.
L3-L4 Mild facet degeneration is noted
L4-L5 Tiny central protrusion is seen but no canal compromised. Mild facet degeneration is noted.

EMG Impression: This is an abnormal study. There is evidence for a right median neuropathy at the wrist, that is moderate to severe. In addition, there appears tobe an old chronic right C5 Radiculopathy.

Can someone break this down for me please?????
Thank you.
