Default My MRI Report for my neck

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have been on Gabapentin and Tramadol for several months now. Had gone thru almost 6 months of Epidural Injections and still having pains Dr recommended Spinal Cord Stimulator but Health Insurance got canceled before I get to the appointment.

PROCEDURE:
MRI OF THE CERVICAL SPINE WITHOUT CONTRAST
KNI - SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN IMAGING, MR, MRI SPINE CERVICAL WO
CONTRAST, 1 1 10812012, 19 :l 4.
Neck pain radiating to the right upper extremity.
A variety of imaging planes and parameters was utilized for visualization of the cervical
spine.
None.
FINDINGS: Motion artifacts are present.
CRANIOCERVICAL AREA: Normal.
PARASPINAL TISSUES: Normal.
CERVICAL CORD:
BONES:
Normal in size. No evidence of a syrinx or cord mass.
Mild anterolisthesis from C4-5 through C7-Tl. No bone mzurow edema, fracture,
or mass.
CERVICAL DISC LEVELS:
C2-C3: Degenerative change of the facets and uncinate hypertrophy resulting in moderate left foraminal
stenosis.
C3-C4: Broad-based disc osteophyte complex and uncinate hypertrophy resulting in mild spinal stenosis and
severe bilateral foraminal stenosis likely impinging on the exiting C4 nerves.
C4-C5: Broad-based disc osteophyte complex, uncinate hypertrophy, and facet degeneration resulting in mild
spinal stenosis and severe bilateral foraminal stenosis likely impinging on the exiting C5 nerves.
C5-C6: Broad-based disc osteophyte complex, uncinate hypertrophy, and facet degeneration resulting in mild
spinal stenosis, severe right foraminal stenosis, and mild-to-moderate left foraminal stenosis. Likely
impinging on the right C6 nerve.
C6-C7: Broad-based disc osteophyte complex and uncinate hypertrophy resulting in moderate right foraminal
stenosis. Mild spinal stenosis.
C7-Tl:. Moderate right foraminal stenosis.
CONCLUSION:
l. Exam is suboptimal secondary to motion artifacts. Mild spinal stenosis from C3-4 through C6-7. No cervical
cord compression, syrinx, or mass.
2. Multilevel foraminal stenosis likely impinging on the bilateral C4 nerves, bilateral C5 nerves, and right C6
