Default Recent MRI results, does this explain TOS?
I recently had an MRI of the neck done and it picked up multilevel neural foraminal stenosis (no central canal stenosis or cervical cord abnormality) and a prominent retrocerebellar CSF. Are these possible cause of positional arm numbness and neck ache and discomfort at night time or only something ADDITIONAL to TOS symptoms?

Sometimes the MRI report will state if mild, moderate , severe etc... was any of that mentioned.
Any mention of nerve root impingement?

Is the Dr looking into this more?
[prominent retrocerebellar CSF]


We also have a Spinal forum and a CSF forum/subforum.. full index listing of forums here-

C3-C4 is moderate, C4-C6 is mild. The dr will take a while before he reviews just wanted to see if there's any significance here.

I have severe C5-6 stenosis and narrowing. I just had an epidural at 3 levels to see if it helps. Often we TOSers have neck issues too-its hard for the dr's to differentiate. Its called double crush when you have compression in the neck and also in the Brachial Plexus. I am hoping the epidurals will tell me where my pain is coming from. So far it doesnt seem to be working very well. Too early to tell for sure though.
