I had a car accident and broke my neck in 1998. I eventually had to have a c5-c6 cervical fussion. some how I now have so much back trouble it isn't funny. I am on social security disability. ( this doesn't even pay utility bills. My family is so tired of me "hurting" they act like I should be ok already. I have my good days and then I have my days when I do not get out of bed. I just had two more MRI's done cervical b/c it was time to check on my fusion and lumbar because I have had stabbing, burning pain from my buttocks down to my foot and nothing helps. well some stretches do sometimes. no heat, ice, rubs, pain meds, muscle relaxers etc. I have not had it read by my doctor I go to him Friday but I have results and I can normally read them ok but this one is different. I have been dx now since the car accident with DDD, cervical stenosis, protruding discs, fibromalagia, horners syndrome among others that my failing memory will not bring up.

If you can help me understand this MRI results please message me as I am really worried now that my legs are giving out when I try to walk. I have had sciatiac nerve blocks, facet blocks, numerous epidural blocks, radiofrequency burning of the nerves. anything they could to try to aleive the pain, I really need some good advice. Here is the lumbar MRI I had done yesterday
