Default Can CT or MRI be wrong or miss something??

I'm just wondering if many people have experienced false results with CT or MRI? I would like to hear your story!

I've had x-rays...they showed stage 2 DD disease
I had a CT it showed:

C4-C5:small posterior disc protrusion w/o central canal stenosis
C5-C6:mild right posterior lateral disc osteophyte complex formation and a small posterior disc herniation, resulting in minimal central canal stenosis and effacement of the right lateral recess.
C6-C7:tiny posterior central disc protrusion and minimal posterior disc osteophyte complex formation with minimal central canal stenosis.
C7-T1:minimal posterior disc osteophyte complex formation without significant central canal stenosis.

and according to my Dr this is a "normal" CT and walked away from me. I am now waiting for an MRI to show something??? if this is normal, then why did my GP send me to see a neurosurgeon?? I'm so confused and frustrated

I hope to god the MRI shows something, I really need my pain to go away! It's been 9 months of hell.

I need some hope here!
