Brief Answer:
Reports show mild disc disease.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

His MRI reports show mild disc disease causing mild pinching of nerves in neck and lower back regions. These can explain in part his body pains, but we still need to find some other cause to explain his generalized body pains.

Additional tests that may be useful are- vitamin B12 and D levels, serum CPK level, nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) studies. However, the tests should be done after getting examined by me or another good neurologist.

Best wishes,
