Did MRI On Spine. Results Were Mild Effacement Of The Ventral Aspect Of The Subarachnoid Space. Increased Pain. Numbness. Suggestions?
i had an MRI on my cervical spine 8 months ago. Findings were, mild effacement of the ventral aspect of the subarachnoid space with mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis secondary to disc osteophyte complex. c5- c6 Evidence of cervical spondylosis with mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. My pain has gotten worse ove this 8 months....neck and base of skull pain chronic...and dizziness and the feeling of shifting when I turn my neck at certain times....I can no longer get comfortable at all. Numbness and burning in left hand and elbow and even nerve shocks in left leg and foot. I would also like to know if throat problems can be a symptom as, lately I have felt like I have an object in my throat. (No pain) just the feeling of something abnormal there.

Hi
your leg pain and throat symptoms unlikely to be due to the the problem from the cervical spine.
if your symptoms are getting worse, then it may be worth seeing a spinal surgeon who can examine you and review your scan.
try to engage yourself with some activity to take your brain away from your spine condition (if you are unemployed for example), you might surprisingly notice improvement
kind regards
