I am 40 yrs old and have had 2 cervical fusions at C5-6, C6-7 and C7-T1 and a double lumar fushion at L4-5 and L5-S1. My last neck surgery was in 2007 and I thought that I was in the clear with my neck and had to start dealing with my back. The double lumbar fusion was in Aug 2010. Recently my neck has started hurting, pain shooting in between my shoulder blades and down my right arm. I had an MRI done and my surgeon has rescheduled my appt 4 times so far but I am concerned by a couple of things on the MRI report.

It says I have straightening of the cervical lordosis, mild disc space narrowing at C4-C5 and a broad based central disc protrusion which partially effaces the ventral aspect of the thecal sac and mild bilateral facet arthropathy thats all for C4-C5.

ON C6-C7 a broad based disc protrusion slightly asymmetric to the right, there is resulting effacement of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac with resulting moderate central canal stenosis. Residual AP thecal sac dimension measures 7.5mm, there is a mild facet arthropathy with bilateral uncovertebral spurs, there is mild right foraminal encroachment.

If someone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
