Hi ~ I'll try to help

There's a small posterocentral bulge at C6-7 impinging the front subarachnoid space. The subarachnoid space is a space that runs the whole length of the spinal cord.

There is degenerative disc disease from T3-4 thru T8-9 impinging on the front arachnoid space. Degenerative disc disease is drying out of the discs. When they dry out, they tend to flatten and bulge/herniate. There is also mild L5-S1 degenerative disc disease impinging on the thecal sac. The thecal sac is a membrane of dura matter that surrounds the spinal cord and cauda equina. It is filled with cerebral spinal fluid.

Can you take your MRI films to a NEUROSURGEON for an opinion? You should have a Neurosurgeon look at these films and see what he thinks.

I wish you the very best. Please let us know what the Neuro says, ok? God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

Thank you so much Leesa, for taking time to read.

I have consulted to 2 Top Neurosurgeon's in here, One says "Are you having any major problem other than this" , he thinks all my problems are nothing but minor and common. Another one also kinda same and prescribed some Medicine(I have attached the prescription of both doctors.)

What do you think, is it serious, all my symptoms(Mention in First post) are causing by this and should I continue with prescribed medicine or consult another doctor?
Thanks again for replying.

Hi Driss ~ Sorry it took so long to reply. I looked up what he prescribed and I can't find it ANYWHERE, so I don't have a clue what it is. Did he tell you what it's for? Is it a pain medication or an antidepressant? Or didn't he say anything? Sometimes they don't, which is crummy.

Your MRI isn't serious. Basically your problem is degenerative disc disease which everyone has -- it just depends on the severity. Yours seems to run from the Thoracic spine all the way thru the lumbar spine, which is pretty normal .If the other 2 Neuro's think the same thing as your doctor, then you can pretty much figure that nothing bad is going on -- and I can't see anything either. So if you continue to have a lot of pain, ask your doctor to send you to a Pain Management doctor. They may be able to help you find some relief, especially in the pool -- pool therapy is great for the spine.

I wish you the very best! PLEASE keep us posted, will you? I'd really like to know about your progress. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
