Frown What Does all This MRI Mean?

Thank you in advance for any and all answers...i've been having increasing pain and weakness in both hands and arms, hands and arms cramping when i use them (similar to carpal tunnel but that's already been ruled out), terrible headaches and now cramps/pain radiating to my legs as well as facial pain/burning. Ortho finally called for an MRI of my C Spine and I don't know what any of this means?! It's another few days of pain before I meet with the surgeon he's referred me to...

C2-3 minimal disc bulge without central canal or foarminal stenosis
C3-4 Mild disc bulge asymmetric to the left, with small left foraminal protrusion. Mild foraminal stenosis on the left. No central canal or right-sided foraminal stenosis.
C4-5 Minimal disc bulge without central canal or foarminal stenosis
C5-6 Moderate left paracentral extrusion with measures approx 3-4mmAP by 9mm craniocaudal by 6mm transverse with inferior extension. Effacement of the anterior thecal sac. Mild central canal stenosis. No significant foraminal stenosis.
C6-7 small broad-based central protrusion, without sign. central canal or foraminal stenosis.
C7-T1 no disc herniation, central stenosis or foraminal stenosis.
T1-2 normal
T2-3 small right foraminal protrusion, without central canal or foraminal stenosis.
T3-4 Small left paracentral protrusion,without significant stenosis.

Multilevel degenerative changes, C3-4, C5-6, C6-7.

I'm in agony with piercing pain that seems to move around my back and neck. for three days my left arm was numb from elbow to fingertips, with sharp pain from neck to elbow. today it's all in my right shoulder radiating down my left arm. last week it was all the way down my spine.
