I wouldn't know how to read or interpret those things. The little I have learned is from my doctors, this group, and looking things up in the medical dictionary (top right of page) and the web.

I've got stenosis too -- both cervical & lumbar -- flattened discs (bone on bone in a few places), scary imaging & reports, and I won't bore you with all the other woes. After many years of this, what my doctors have told me came to pass. There has been some further degeneration, but there has been some healing too, as bone has grown to protect my spine.

What I believe has helped me along is keeping things as loose and flexible as I can. My range of motion is (the therapists tell me) excellent, though it can get pretty stiff and limited at times.

We got dealt these pretty crummy hands, but we're still in the game.
